“The firing of Grad rockets at a large city such as Ashkelon, in a clear attempt to kill men, women and children on the eve of the Sabbath is a blatant violation of international law and demonstrates the barbaric and violent nature of those who fired the rockets.”

—Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs

“The firing by Lebanese Armed Forces [killing one Israeli]…along this border was unjustified, unwarranted…We want to see tensions eased along the border between Israel and Lebanon…This was a tragic episode. Let’s learn from this and find ways to avoid these kinds of flashpoints in the future.”

—Philip Crowley, US State Department spokesman
