PARIS: French President Francois Hollande said the bombing on Sunday of a UN school in Gaza was "unacceptable" and called for those responsible to "answer for their actions".
In the statement sent to AFP, Hollande denounced the "unacceptable bombing of a school in Rafah run by the United Nations, which caused the death of at least 10 people who had taken refuge there".
The French president did not say who he considered responsible for the attack, but backed calls by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon "to ask that those responsible for this violation of international law answer for their actions".
Responsibility for the attack had not been formally established by Sunday evening. The Israeli army said it had targeted "three terrorists" from the Islamic Jihad group riding a motorcycle near the Rafah school and was examining the "consequences of this strike"
