His spokesperson, Michele Montas, told the daily press briefing Wednesday that Ban “has urged and is urging again” the parties for the full respect of the deal brokered by Egypt and that has been in place for the past four months.

In retaliation to the Israeli killing Tuesday of six Palestinian militants, Hamas earlier Wednesday fired a number of rockets that landed in the coastal city of Ashkelon. No casualties were reported.
