EU's Ashton: "deeply converned" at violence in Israel and Gaza
(Reuters) - European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Friday she was deeply concerned at violence in Israel and Gaza, calling for rocket attacks by Hamas to end and urging Israel to ensure its response was proportionate.
"I am deeply concerned at the escalating violence in Israel and the Gaza Strip and deplore the loss of civilian lives on both sides," Ashton said in a statement.
"The rocket attacks by Hamas and other factions in Gaza which began this current crisis are totally unacceptable for any government and must stop," she said.
"Israel has the right to protect its population from these kinds of attacks. I urge Israel to ensure that its response is proportionate," she said.
Ashton said she had spoken about the situation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Egyptian president's office, as well as U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
She said she hoped a visit by Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil to Gaza on Friday would help to calm the situation.

Israel's military denies it attacked Gaza during Egyptian's visit
JERUSALEM, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Israel's military denied on Friday that it had carried out attacks in the Gaza Strip during a visit to the enclave by Egypt's prime minister.
The Islamist Hamas group said Israel launched air strikes, killing two people, during the visit by Egypt's Hisham Kandil. The Israeli military said it had not carried out any attacks after he arrived in the enclave.
Israel had announced it would suspend military operations in Gaza during Kandil's three-hour visit so long as Hamas also halted all fire.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said about 50 rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza while Kandil was in the Palestinian territory. Israeli broadcasts showed damage from one rocket that struck the southern city of Ashkelon.
"Hamas does not respect the Egyptian prime minister's visit to Gaza and violates the temporary ceasefire that Israel agreed to during the visit," Ofir Gendelman, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote on Twitter. (Writing by Jeffrey Heller) -
