UN chief rebukes Israel: 'The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum'

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza entails “clear violations of international law,” according to the top United Nations official, who called for an “immediate ceasefire” as civilian casualties mount in the war against Hamas.

“Even war has rules,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Tuesday morning. “Let me be clear: No party to an armed conflict is above international humanitarian law.”
