Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to reporters Saturday evening before boarding a flight from Phoenix to Las Vegas for a campaign event and discussed the latest incidents in the Israel-Gaza conflict.

She was asked about the Israeli Defense Forces strike on Al-Tabeen School in Gaza City, and said there are "far too many civilians who have been killed."

"Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas. But as I have said many, many times, they also have, I believe, an important responsibility to avoid civilian casualties," Harris said.

When asked about the possibility the administration might set arms limitations on Israel, the vice president said it was important to have that a hostage deal and a cease-fire.

"And I can't stress that strongly enough, it needs to get done. The deal needs to get done, and it needs to get done now," she said.
