British Foreign Secretary David Cameron has urged Israel to take a “much more surgical, clinical and targeted approach” in dealing with Hamas, AFP reports.

After talks with his Italian counterpart in Rome, Cameron said Britain was asking Israel to “recognise that they have to minimise civilian casualties, they have to obey international humanitarian law at all times”.

He noted that, according to the Israelis, there had been fewer civilian casualties in the south of Gaza than in the north. “I would urge them still to go further,” the former premier told reporters.
