UN chief Antonio Guterres has expressed regret over the recent death of three children in an Israeli airstrike on a border area east of the besieged Gaza Strip.
“The targeting of Palestinian children or exposing them to risk leading to violence is utterly unacceptable” spokesman for the UN chief Stephane Dujarric said.
Dujarric added that the secretary-general “appeals to all to refrain from any act that could lead to further casualties in particular any measures that could place children in harm’s way.”
Hundreds of Palestinians on Monday laid to rest three teenage boys killed in an Israeli aerial attack with their families insisting they had no ties to any Palestinian resistance groups.
A crowd of mourners called on Gaza’s resistance groups to retaliate for the brutal slaying of the kids.
The three boys lived in Wadi as-Salqa a farming town in central Gaza near the Israeli border.
