Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil arrived in Gaza on Friday to show solidarity with Palestinians there who have been at the center of an intensifying conflict, the New York Times reported.

Kandil’s trip to Gaza comes a day after Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi sharply condemned Israel’s airstrikes. Israel, meanwhile, continues to absorb rocket fire from Gaza. The Times reported that Palestinian militants on Friday fired 25 rockets into southern Israel, although there were “no immediate reports of casualties.”
