U.S. Representative Keith Ellison visited the Gaza Strip on Thursday. He told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis that he is haunted by the scenes of destruction.

Ellison met with Gaza civilians and relief workers for about nine hours today, and said the civilian devastation he witnessed was hard for him to understand.

On Friday, he plans to tour the Israeli towns of Sderot and Ashkelon, which have been targets of numerous rocket attacks by Hamas forces in Gaza.

Ellison said he's always believed the situation in Gaza should be resolved by diplomacy.
