The intensification of confrontations between Israel, Hamas and the United Nations calls for restra

Continued escalation between Israel and Hamas and factions of the "resistance" Palestinian, while the Secretary-General of the United Nations "parties to the conflict" to exercise restraint. 

On Monday, a bloodbath between Hamas and Israel erupted in which Palestinians from Gaza fired a barrage of rockets and mortars into Israeli territory, while the latter responded with air strikes on neighborhoods in Gaza. UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutierrez urged all parties last night to exercise maximum restraint, the UN

spokesman said .

UN Special Coordinator Nikolai Maladinov is working closely with Egypt and all parties concerned to restore calm, "spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement. 

Three Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip on Monday and destroyed the television building of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip. 

Rescue teams in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon on Monday night recovered the body of a man from the rubble of a building hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, medical sources said.

He was the first person to die in Israel from the rockets that rained down on the southern part of the Jewish state from the Gaza Strip as of Monday noon and amounted to more than 300 rockets, in an escalation caused by a security operation carried out Sunday evening inside the besieged area of ​​the Israeli special forces unit. 

The dead, whose identity was not immediately identified, said Israeli media reported that he had recovered his body after rescuers had recovered from the rubble of the same building a woman with serious injuries and critical condition, according to the Israeli ambulance organization United Hatzala. Meanwhile, the Israeli army sent reinforcements to the border with Gaza.

"We are ready to increase our efforts against terrorist organizations," said IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conriks. An AFP journalist saw tanks moving in the direction of the Gaza Strip, a sight not unusual in similar periods of escalation. 

In contrast, the Palestinian Hamas movement called for an international investigation into "deliberate Israeli targeting of civilians and civilian installations." 

"The Israeli occupation crosses all red lines and goes beyond all international agreements," the group said in a statement. 

"There must be an independent investigation into the terrible Israeli crimes now, and Hamas is ready to provide any evidence of Israeli crimes against humanity," she said, urging the United Nations to indict Israel at the International Criminal Court .

Hamas claims that Israeli warplanes bombed "civilian places only" as violence in the region escalated since Sunday. While Israel says that Hamas is deliberately putting civilians in harm's way for use as human shields, according to the Israeli version.
