The attack by Hamas on Israel last month does not justify the level of “bombardment” on Gaza, Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said.

Speaking to reporters at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis in Dublin, Mr Martin said that the Hamas attack against Israel, which left over 1,400 dead, left a lot of anger in the country.
