Gaza is close to war: UN, international stakeholders
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and other international stakeholders warned that Gaza is close to war.
"Hamas terror organization targeted Israeli civilians throughout the night with a severe rocket attack and is dragging the Gaza Strip down a deteriorating path," the Israeli army said.
Israel and Hamas have fought three wars since 2008 and observe a tense ceasefire that is regularly shaken by hostile acts.
