I am standing with a very heavy heart, says Ban Ki-moon. As we speak there are rockets from Hamas and Islamic Jihad continued to be fired in Israel.
We condemn strongly the rocket attacks. These must stop immediately. We condemn the use of civilians sites, SCHOOLS, hospitals and other civilian facilities for military purposes. No country would accept the rockets raining down on its territory. All countries and parties have an obligation to protect its citizens.
In fact, there was a rocket alert in the south as Ban spoke in Tel Aviv.
