The United States has strongly condemned the rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel, saying there is no justification for the targeting of innocent civilians.
“We strongly condemn the rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel, which has dramatically and dangerously escalated in the past day,” the State Department spokesperson, Victoria Nuland, said in a statement yesterday.
“As we have said many times, there is no justification for the targeting of innocent civilians and call on those responsible to take immediate action to stop these cowardly acts,” she said.
Regretting the incident, the US official said to avoid an escalation of the situation, all the parties need to exercise restraint.
