A spokesperson for South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Seoul strongly condemns the “indiscriminate attacks on Israel” from Gaza and called for an immediate halt of these attacks. The spokesperson also expressed the South Korean government’s “deep concern” over the large number of civilian casualties caused by these attacks and conveyed condolences to the victims and their families. These remarks come after Hamas launched a surprise land, sea and air attack from Gaza during the weekend, killing hundreds and infiltrating Israeli territory. Israel responded with air strikes, which Palestinian health authorities say led to hundreds more casualties
