Israeli envoy urges UN to ‘hold Hamas accountable’ for rocket attacks

Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon calls on Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council to condemn Hamas for launching dozens of rocket and mortar shells at Israeli civilian targets throughout today.

“Since the early morning, dozens of rockets and mortar shells were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israeli population centers as a continuation of Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s terror activities,” Danon wrote to the Secretary General and members of the Security Council.

“In the interest of restoring calm and protecting civilians on both sides of the fence, I request that you strongly condemn Hamas and hold the terrorist organization accountable for these latest attacks,” he writes.
