"The recent rockets in Israel and airstrikes in Gaza represent a dangerous escalation of the tensions and violence witnessed over the past days in Jerusalem, including its Old City," Fabrizio Carboni, ICRC regional director for the Middle East, said in a statement.
"The International Committee of the Red Cross is issuing an urgent call for restraint and de-escalation," he said.
