Israel complains to UN
Israel and Hamas looked to the United Nations yesterday as tensions rose along the volatile Gaza border after a series of Israeli air strikes in response to rocket fire from the strip.
Israel urged the UN Security Council on Tuesday to issue a "clear and resolute" message to Palestinian militants against firing rockets into its territory from Gaza, in a letter made public yesterday.
And Hamas said it would appeal to the international body to act against the "threat of further aggression against the Palestinians."
The tit-for-tat appeals to the UN come after exchanges of fire along the Gaza border.
