Netanyahu: No ‘Immediate’ End to Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza, New Airstrikes Rock the City

Israel pummeled Gaza with airstrikes early Monday morning as violence in the region entered its second week. Spoke with Qatar's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs @MBA_AlThani_ about the urgent work to halt the conflict gripping in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza. The loss of life from the crisis is deeply saddening.

The attack rocked the city from north to south and lasted 10 minutes, according to the Associated Press. It was heavier and wider than an attack early Sunday.  Since the fighting began on May 10, at least 197 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 58 children and 34 women, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. At least 10 Israelis have been killed in the rocket attacks, including a six-year-old. Monday's attack followed comments Sunday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he was not planning any “immediate” end to deadly airstrikes on Gaza.
