The Libyan Ministry for Foreign Communication and International Cooperation Tuesday strongly condemned the Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip that killed 19 Palestinians earlier in the day, according to news Wednesday.
The ministry said in a statement that the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza violated international law and the Charter of the United Nations, Libyan media reported Wednesday.
Libya urged the international community to immediately take action to stop the massacres committed by Israel.
Libya also called on all Palestinian parties to resume solidarity to fight Israel's incursions.
According to an earlier report, Israeli forces backed by tanks and bulldozers killed 17 Palestinians and wounded 45 others in an incursion into Zeitoon neighborhood Tuesday in eastern Gaza City.
Two more Palestinian militants were killed Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun, medics and witnesses said.
Meanwhile, Israel Radio reported that one rocket launched from Gaza hit the town of Sderout and wounded at least five Israelis, and a state of emergency was declared in the town.
