Red Cross calls on Israel, Palestinians to protect innocent civilians
The International Committee of the Red Cross on Friday called on both Israel and the Palestinians to respect international law and stop harming innocent civilians.
A statement issued by the local branch of the Geneva-based humanitarian organization said it was concerned about the wave of violence since Tuesday, when an Israeli ground and air offensive to try and stop Palestinian rocket attacks from Gaza against Israel claimed the lives of 19 Palestinians, including the militant son of a prominent Hamas leader.
