The Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Thursday the Israeli attack which was launched on Palestinians during a protest march in Rafah city at Gaza Strip Wednesday.  

 

The Foreign Ministry said in a statement, cited by Anadolu News Agency, "we harshly condemn attack of Israeli helicopters and tanks on Palestinians who hold a protest at Rafah Refugee Camp, killing at least 15 people, including children, and injuring many people."  

 

"Like terrorist activities launched on Israeli civilians, the military operations and destruction directly aiming at Palestinian civilians cannot have any rightful reason and legal basis," said the statement.
