France condemns attack on Israel

French President, Emmanuel Macron, on Saturday, said he “strongly condemns the terrorist attacks that are currently striking Israel”.

AFP earlier reported that Israeli Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, said Palestinian militant group, Hamas, launched a “war” against Israel after barrages of rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on Saturday.

While commiserating with victims and their families after the attack, Macron said, “I express my full solidarity with the victims, their families and their loved ones.”

Meanwhile, France’s foreign ministry said it “reaffirms its absolute rejection of terrorism and its commitment to Israel’s security.”
