The ICRC is deeply concerned about the latest escalation of hostilities in the region and the impact this is having on the civilian population in Israel and the occupied territories.

Over the last three nights, over 20 civilians have been killed and  400 injured across Israel.

The ICRC continues to engage directly with the first responders from Magen David Adom, who are providing lifesaving support to the affected civilians.

It calls on all parties to this conflict to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
