'All options on the table' to stop rocket fire, senior minister says

Communications Minister Gilad Erdan, a member of the security cabinet, speaks to Channel 2 and reassures residents of southern Israel that the operation to halt rocket fire hasn’t ended, and that the situation will not go back to how it was before Operation Protective Edge began last month.

He says that “all options are on the table” to halt the rocket fire — including putting boots back on the ground in the Hamas-controlled territory and reoccupying the Gaza Strip.

“This isn’t a drizzle,” he says, referring to the euphemism for sporadic rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. “It’s multiple attempted murders each day.”
