United Nations Security Council Resolution 672, adopted unanimously on October 12, 1990, after reaffirming resolutions 476 (1980), 478 (1980), the Council expressed alarm at the violence at Holy Places in Jerusalem on October 8, 1990, resulting in the death of 20 Palestinian people and the injury of 150 others, including Palestinian civilians and other worshippers.
The Council went on to condemn the actions of the Israeli security forces, calling on Israel to abide by its legal obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention. Resolution 672 also authorised a mission to be sent to the region to investigate the incident, reporting back by the end of October 1990.
Israel rejected the resolution, saying it did not pay attention to attacks on Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall.[1]
