Turkey denounces Israel over Gaza airstrikes

Turkey condemns Israel for the overnight airstrikes in Gaza, which included attacks on three senior Islamic Jihad leaders, noting the civilian deaths.

“Such despicable actions are in no way acceptable,” the Turkish foreign ministry says in a statement. “We expect these attacks to be ended immediately, without further loss of life and causing a new spiral of violence in the region.”

It adds: “We wish Allah’s mercy upon our Palestinian brothers and sisters who lost their lives in the attacks and extend our condolences to the State of Palestine and its people.”
