Ban finds "the apparent excessive use of force by Israeli security forces" to be "troubling," his front man Stephane Dujarric told news hounds as violence continued in Jerusalem and the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

The U.N. chief was due to sit down with Security Council envoys for a luncheon meeting on Tuesday to discuss mounting Israeli-Paleostinian violence.
A ministerial-level meeting of the Security Council on the crisis in the Middle East is scheduled for October 22.
After initially breaking out with attacks and violent protests in annexed east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, unrest has spread to Gazoo, with festivities along the border in recent days leaving nine Paleostinians dead from Israeli fire.
The violence began on October 1, when an alleged Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, cell rubbed out a Jewish settler couple in the West Bank in front of their children.
There were repeated festivities at Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound in September between Israeli forces and Paleostinian youths.
