(Jerusalem Post) Jordana Horn - For the fourth time in the past month, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor wrote to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and the UN Security Council condemning the continuing rocket fire from Gaza. Since October, more than 70 rockets and mortars have been launched at civilian targets in Israel from Gaza. "Nearly every day, we witness new scenes of destruction. Israeli men, women and children continue to be killed and injured. Shrapnel flies into homes, schools and playgrounds," Prosor wrote. "Fires rage in the streets. Yet, the Security Council still has not uttered a single syllable of condemnation against these attacks." Calling the attacks "a flagrant violation of international law," Prosor requested that the Security Council and international community immediately condemn the rocket fire. "No people should be expected to live under such a specter of violence," he wrote.
