As the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group launched more than 400 rockets from Gaza toward Israel on Wednesday, nine ambassadors to the United Nations, mainly from Africa and Southeast Asia, landed safely in Tel Aviv, experiencing life in a city under attack as they prepared for a week-long tour of Israel.
Back at U.N. headquarters in New York, the Jewish state came under attack as well, as the United Arab Emirates, France, China, and Russia called for closed-door consultations of the Security Council to discuss the escalation in hostilities between Israel and PIJ.
