Canada 'Vigorously Condemns' Gaza Attacks On Israel

Canada is standing up for Israel's right to defend itself against the terrorist rocket and mortar attacks on its southern region.

Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said Friday in a statement, “Canada vigorously condemns the rocket attacks on Israel launched from the Gaza Strip. These terrorist attacks, which indiscriminately target civilian areas, are abhorrent and criminal.

“Israel has a right to defend itself against such terrorist acts.

“Terrorism is never justified. We call on all parties in Gaza to cease these criminal attacks. Those responsible should be brought to justice,” Cannon added.

On Saturday, three rockets were launched from Gaza at the western Negev. Damage was caused in all three attacks, but no one was injured.

On Sunday morning, the Israel Air Force carried out air strikes on Islamic Jihad terrorists preparing to again attack southern Israel with more missiles. At least two terrorists were killed in the air strike.
