Following rocket fire from Gaza, UN urges restraint and protection of civilians<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

21 March 2013 – The United Nations today urged restraint by all parties following rocket fire from Gaze into civilian areas in southern Israel.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“We condemn all rocket fire and call for it to stop,” said a UN spokesperson. “We urge restraint and we remind all sides of their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians.”<\/p><\/div>\n

According to media reports, one of the rockets exploded in the courtyard of a house in the border town of Sderot early in the morning while the other landed in an open field. No injuries were reported.<\/p><\/div>\n

The ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt in November, which brought an end to eight days of violence in Gaza and Israel, was also breached last month when a rocket landed in Ashkelon, reportedly causing damage but no injuries. <\/p><\/div>\n

“Efforts must continue to fully implement the understanding for a ceasefire agreed in Cairo on 21 November 2012. The terms of agreement should be strictly abided by all,” the spokesperson said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
