The European Union is urging Israel to end its latest military operations in Gaza, with hundreds said to have been killed since early Tuesday.
"The EU deplores the breakdown of the ceasefire in Gaza and the deaths of civilians, including children, in Israeli airstrike," a joint statement by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and commissioners Dubravka Šuica and Hadja Lahbib said.
"The EU calls on Israel to end its military operations and reiterates its call on Hamas to release all the hostages immediately," it added.
The EU also urged Israel "to exercise restraint and to resume unimpeded entry of humanitarian aid and electricity to Gaza."
