Israel attacks on Gaza

Turkey calls Israel’s bombardment of Gaza ”unacceptable”

Turkish government condemned on Tuesday the heavy bombardments of the Israeli army on the Gaza Strip, which killed three Islamic Jihad leaders but also killed 10 Palestinian civilians – including women and children – and injured 20 others in this densely populated Palestinian territory. “Such despicable acts are absolutely unacceptable,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry stated in a statement. “We hope that these attacks will end immediately, without further loss of life and without causing a new spiral of conflict in the region,” added the message issued from Ankara.
