EU mourns loss of civilian lives in Gaza

The European Union mourned the loss of lives of the 34 civilians killed in Israeli air strikes in recent days in the Gaza Strip, including eight children.

The European Union said in a statement issued by its office in Jerusalem on Friday that it would follow closely with the Israeli authorities the results of an investigation into the November 13 killing of eight members of the same family in Gaza, which should be transparent and in line with standards. International Accounting is guaranteed.

"Israel must exercise restraint and do everything in its power to avoid civilian casualties, in line with its obligations under international law," he said.

From dawn to dawn on Thursday, the Israeli army launched an aggression on Gaza, which began with the assassination of a senior commander in the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, Bahaa Abu al-Ata and his wife. .
