    Israel bombed 29 targets in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said, after Palestinian militants in the coastal territory fired 60 rockets into Israel in the heaviest such barrage since 2012.

    “The Secretary-General strongly condemns the multiple rocket attacks today on Israel from Gaza, for which Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility,” Ban’s press office said in a statement.

    “While reports of damage and injuries are still being ascertained, (Ban) deplores the severe escalation of violence,” it said. “He urges all actors to exercise maximum restraint to prevent further incidents that could bring greater escalation and destabilization in the region.”

    The rocket fire, which Israeli police said resulted in no casualties, was claimed by the Islamic Jihad group and came a day after Israel killed three of its members in a Gaza air strike.

    Hi Mr. UN chief thanks for coming out and condemning! Now, can you please return to fighting global warming, AIDS in Africa and perhaps stop the fish from eating each others too, and when you are done and there is still a standing structure in Gaza we will talk again!
