Israel Diplomat's Measured Response To Journalist's Family Death In Gaza

Michal Maayan, the Israeli diplomat to the UN, told NDTV that at least 8,000 rockets have been launched by Hamas on Israel. She said many Hamas rockets have fallen in Gaza too. On the death of the family of an Al Jazeera reporter in Gaza, Ms Maayan said, "We are under constant barrage of rockets... Many of these also fall short into Gaza… I don't know what happened, can't be specific. I am sorry for his family. It is horrible. It is also horrible to watch the atrocities on our civilians," she said. The number of dead in Gaza is now at crisis levels, a fact made clear by the video of the Al Jazeera Palestine correspondent encountering the death of his family in Israeli bombing. The video has stunned people around the world.
