borders, rebel attacks continue apace. the northern city of modal --mosul has been occupied from a month. a number of people have been killed by jihadist militants, but they are allegations that are almost impossible to verify. now they will fight back and -- in an attempt to rid the town of the insurgents. but now back to the conflict in gaza. in light of that situation, and urgent session of the un security council is being held today. the un's secretary-general ban andoon briefed the body said that civilians were the ones paying the highest price of all. the ambassador to the u.n. surprisingly had the sharpest criticism of all for the israeli campaign. any government perpetrating
