the 2009, theber office was again shelled by that time israeli tanks. i went there myself.theme, because continuing violence, i was able to speak with our staff via video. i expressed my strong solidarity that the investigation would continue. thank you. >> secretary of state john kerry also spoke about the violence between israel and gaza today at the state department. he spoke about it during the release of a report on religious freedom. >> i just returned from having a conversation about ending the rocket and tunnel attacks against israeli civilians. and easing the suffering of innocent people. in gaza, and israel, in the west bank. today, we are continuing to work toward establishing an unconditional humanitarian cease-fire, one that could honor the period that ends now and stop the fighting, allowing medicine and desperately needed supplies to gaza. and enable israel to address the threat that we fully understand, and which is real, the threat posed by tunnel attacks. and to be able to do so without having to resort to combat. that is what will come from a cease-fire.
