Turkish PM does not 'approve' Israeli attack on Gaza

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim has reacted to the Israeli rocket attack in the blockaded Gaza Strip on Sunday, Anadolu reported.

In a news conference in Ankara on Monday, Yildirim said: "We want to clearly express that these attacks against civilians were not approved."

"The normalization of our relations with Israel will never prevent, stop our stand for Palestinians' justified cases and our common action with them," added Yildirim.

Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes in the blockaded Gaza Strip on Sunday, shortly after a rocket was fired into southern Israel.

On Sunday, the Israeli military said in a statement that a rocket hit the southern city of Sderot from the Palestinian territory.

"In response to the attack, the Israeli air forces and armored corps targeted two Hamas posts in southern Gaza Strip,” the statement said.
