United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today voiced alarm at the deadly consequences of a two-day Israeli incursion into the northern Gaza Strip, noting that there were reportedly at least 10 civilians, including five children under the age of 15, among the Palestinian deaths.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Mr. Annan said he was aware that the incursion followed rocket and mortar fire against Israeli targets.

respect its obligations under international law as an
occupying power regarding the use of disproportionate force
