The United Nations on Wednesday called the deaths in Israel’s new military strikes on Gaza “appalling”, as it urged all sides not to let peace “slip from our grasp.”
Israel said it had carried out strikes on dozens of Hamas targets following the death of a soldier, with the Gaza Strip experiencing its deadliest night of bombing since a US-brokered truce went into effect earlier in October.
UN rights chief Volker Turk said the attacks had reportedly hit schools, homes and tents for internally displaced people within the Palestinian territory.
