Statement by United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process,
Nickolay Mladenov, on rocket fire from Gaza
Jerusalem, 29 May 2018

“I am deeply concerned by the indiscriminate firing of rockets by Palestinian militants from Gaza towards communities in Southern Israel. At least one of which hit in the immediate vicinity of a kindergarten and could have killed or injured children.
Such attacks are unacceptable and undermine the serious efforts by the international community to improve the situation in Gaza.
All parties must exercise restraint, avoid escalation and prevent incidents that jeopardize the lives of Palestinians and Israelis.”
