Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani has warned that continued Israeli aggression in Gaza Strip will cost the region very dear and create tension.
"Continued aggression by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip will cost the region and create more tension. The international community must intervene to stop the escalation," Sheikh Mohammed said in a tweet on Thursday.
At least three Palestinians, including a pregnant woman and her 18-month-old child, were killed by Israeli air attacks and artillery shelling on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israel launched more than 140 attacks after about 150 rockets were fired from the coastal enclave.
Israel's military on Thursday warned Hamas against a further escalation in violence, and Israeli media said officials were considering evacuating residents from areas near the Gaza border."The way things continue to play out is significant. Hamas will understand in the coming hours, as in the past months, that this is not the direction it wants to choose," a senior military official was quoted as saying on the military's Twitter account.
