MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th November, 2018) Norway is working with the United Nations and Egypt to restore peace after violence erupted between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.
"Norway [is] concerned by escalation of violence in and around Gaza. Norway works with the UN and Egypt to restore calm," the ministry tweeted.
Violence between Israel and the Hamas militant group running Gaza erupted Monday after a Hamas commander was killed overnight in a covert Israeli operation.
The Nordic nation slammed as "unacceptable" the rocket fire that had since come from the Palestinian enclave and urged the sides to exercise restraint to protect civilians. Israel struck over 160 militant targets in Gaza in retaliation.
