Palistinian President Condemns Invasion As Israel Bombs Depot
"President Abbas vigorously condemns this aggression and calls for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council to put an end to it," Saeb Erakat told AFP.
The Palestinian leader warned that "the Israeli aggression on Gaza will have grave consequences for the region."
Meanwhile, the Israeli air force on Saturday bombed a gas depot near Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza causing a huge explosion, witnesses told AFP.
A huge fire raged at the depot on a main road through Gaza following the strike on the private business which supplies cooking gas to the local population, they said.
The blast came shortly after Israeli troops poured into northern Gaza to end rocket and mortar attacks by Hamas and its allies.
