Israel Prime Minister regrets deaths

Jerusalem: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed “regret” over the loss of civilian lives in the bombing of Gaza. “...one must understand how our enemy operates. Who hides in mosques? Hamas. Who puts arsenals under hospitals? Hamas. Who puts command centres in residences or near kindergartens? Hamas. Hamas is using the residents of Gaza as human shields,” he said. “It is bringing disaster to the civilians of Gaza. Therefore, for any attack on Gaza civilians, which we regret, Hamas and its partners bear sole responsibility,” he asserted.
