British minister condemns Hamas mortar attacks

Commenting on recent actions by Hamas, Minister for the Middle East and North Africa Alistair Burt criticized Hamas' mortar attacks on Israel as well as the assault of Gaza protestors: "Hamas should not think that while the attention of the world is elsewhere we will turn a blind eye to their actions.”

"The indiscriminate targeting of Israeli citizens, as they celebrated the Jewish festival of Purim, is unacceptable," he added. (Ronen Medzini)
