Pakistan condemns Israeli airstrikes on Gaza
KARACHI, Pakistan (AA) – Pakistan on Saturday “strongly” condemned the latest Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which left at least 10 Palestinians dead.
“Martyrdom of 10 Palestinians including a five-year old girl in Gaza is latest act of Israeli terrorism. If impunity and barbarism had a face, it would have been that of Israel, which has targeted Palestinians without any care for consequences,” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Twitter.
“Pakistan strongly condemns Israeli airstrikes,” he added.
The Gaza-based Health Ministry said Israeli airstrikes killed 10 Palestinians, including a 5-year-old girl, and injured 44 others.
The Islamic Jihad movement said in a press statement that Taysir al-Jabari, its commander for the northern region of Gaza, was also killed in the airstrikes.
The Israeli army confirmed in a statement that it had targeted al-Jabari and 10 others.
According to an Anadolu Agency reporter in Gaza, Israeli warplanes hit separate areas in Gaza City, Khan Yunis, and the northern Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Authority called on the international community to pressure Israel to stop the aggression against Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, and to provide them with international protection.
