Ukraine strongly condemns a wave of rocket fire into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip in recent days, the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine has stated.
“It is unacceptable when the civilian population becomes a hostage of those forces in the Gaza Strip who continue the wave of violence and terror, thereby endangering both the people of Israel and their own citizens. The people of Israel and Palestine must live in peace,” the comment reads.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation of the situation.

“It is a shame that that the shelling occurred after Holocaust Remembrance Day and on the eve of the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan,” the ministry noted.

As reported, militants in Gaza and Israeli forces engaged in a bloody and spiralling clash over the weekend, with Palestinian factions launching hundreds of rockets towards towns and cities in Israel, which retaliated with more than 250 strikes.
