Russia says Israel must comply with international law in Rafah
The Russian foreign ministry on Wednesday insisted that Israel strictly observe international humanitarian law after its tanks entered the border city of Rafah.
At a briefing, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia sees the incursion as "an additional destabilizing factor" in an area with more than a million civilians, and therefore "we demand strict observance of the provisions of international humanitarian law," the RIA Novosti state news agency reported.
