AMMAN, June 13 (Xinhua) -- The Jordanian government on Tuesday strongly condemned Israeli military operations against innocent and unarmed civilians in the Gaza Strip.

    Government spokesperson Nasser Judah said "the government is making contacts with the Israeli government, calling on it to stop these actions immediately for its incompatibility with the desire of the international community to bring concerned parties to the negotiating table and push them to implement the roadmap."

    "Such Israeli practices poison the atmosphere and make things more difficult in the quest to move toward the restoration of the peace process," the spokesperson said.

    On Tuesday noon, the Israeli Air Force carried out two air raids in succession, killing three Palestinian militants and eight civilians, including two children from one family. Enditem
