Israel Accused of Airstrikes on Gaza Strip
Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- Israel has again carried out a raid on Gaza Strip.

23 Palestinians were killed and more than 70 wounded in the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza Strip in four-day period from March 9.

The Israeli authorities impudently justified airstrikes, citing excuse that the resistance forces in Gaza Strip attempted to attack Israel by rocket missiles.

This sparked off the strong protest and denouncement of the Palestinian National Authority and the international community.

The top negotiator of PNA said the Israeli airstrikes brought hazard to Gaza Strip again and the Israeli authorities should be blamed for it.

Jordan's Minister of Communications and Media Affairs Rakan Majali branded Israeli airstrikes as barbarous atrocities and clarified his country's stand to fully support the Palestinians in their struggle against the Zionist regime.

Iran's Foreign Ministry in a statement denounced the Zionist regime for the continuation of the massacre and aggression on the innocent Palestinians in Gaza Strip, labeling it as a war crime, act against humanity.

The statement stressed that the international community should fulfill its duty of protecting Palestinians from the crime, not maintaining silence.

Egypt's foreign minister expressed resentment at Israeli airstrikes, saying that the bloody killings of Arab brothers should be stopped at once.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry released a statement in which it urgently demanded the Israeli authorities stop the inhumane acts and unpardonable wrong policy towards the Palestinians.
