ANKARA

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan strongly condemned an Israeli attack on Anadolu Agency office in the Gaza Strip on Saturday.

“We strongly condemn Israel’s attack against Anadolu Agency’s office in Gaza,” Erdogan said on Twitter and added: “Turkey and Anadolu Agency will continue to tell the world about Israeli terrorism and atrocities in Gaza and other parts of Palestine despite such attacks.”

Erdogan also gave a phone call to Anadolu Agency’s Director General Senol Kazanci and conveyed his messages of sympathy.

Israeli warplanes hit the building with at least 5 rockets after warning shots, Anadolu Agency’s correspondent in Jerusalem reported.

At least two Palestinians were killed when Israeli warplanes struck Hamas positions in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
