The Canadian government is condemning an Israeli airstrike that hit a mosque in a school compound in Gaza on Aug. 10. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says the bombing caused civilian casualties. The Israeli Ambassador to Canada retorts that terrorists were the ones being targeted in the strike.
Hours after the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched the airstrike early Saturday, Joly called for an “immediate ceasefire” and the “release of hostages” in a post on X.
