The United States is "deeply saddened" following clashes in Gaza near the Israeli border that left 16 Palestinians dead and wounded hundreds more, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said today.
"We are deeply saddened by loss of life in #Gaza today," Nauert wrote on Twitter. "We urge those involved to take steps to lower tensions."
"Int'l community is focused on taking steps that will improve the lives of the Palestinians and is working on a plan for peace. Violence furthers neither of those goals."
