    Palestine should stop halting rocket fires to Israel. Hamas is the terror group. Why not all Arab countries like Saudi is not saying this. Let them tell Palestine to stop this then Israel will be quite. Killing civilians is really condemned.

    Enemy of humanity yet dislike your appreciation. The aggression against the palestainians expose the impotency of UNSC. Killing of innocent children and women is coward attempts by zionist regime... Mossad itself killed three girls and make way for attack ...Hieght of injustice
