German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul expresses “deep concern” after the deadliest night of bombing in Gaza since a US-brokered truce went into effect earlier this month, as Israel responded to Hamas violations of the ceasefire including the death of an IDF reservist by sniper fire in southern Gaza.

“We appeal to Israel to exercise military restraint in order to prevent further suffering,” Wadephul says in a ministry statement released ahead of a planned trip to the region.
