The United Nations Security Council has issued a statement calling for the reinstitution of a ceasefire reached between Israel and militant factions in Gaza in 2012.

“The Security Council members called for de-escalation of the situation, restoration of calm and reinstitution of the November 2012 ceasefire,” said Eugene Gasana, UN Security Council President. 

Meanwhile the sound of explosions were reported in Jerusalem shortly after sirens wailed across the city.
