UN chief says rocket launching breaches international law
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "deep concern that armed Palestinians continue to launch rockets at Israel in an attempt to harm civilians. These attacks are not acceptable and breach international law."
He added in his statement that he was also troubled by the large number of civilians injured in IDF operation. He said he "recognizes Israel's right to defend itself," but said it must observe international law." (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
