Beersheba mayor: This is liable to happen again, we must be vigilant

Following Iran’s direct strike on a Beersheba hospital, Mayor Ruvik Danilovich calls on the public to remain “alert and vigilant.”

“We will get through this, God willing. We are strong, everyone has their role… This is liable to happen again, so we must be alert and vigilant,” he tells Kan news.

“They want to hurt us,” he says, adding that Iran “has declared for years [its intention] to destroy the State of Israel.”

Stressing the importance of sheltering when necessary, Danilovich says there is a “direct line” connecting Israel’s military campaign in Iran and the “disciplined citizens” who enter protected spaces during missile barrages.

“Everyone has their role: the disciplined citizen, security forces, rescue and emergency services — and Soroka Medical Center, which does truly amazing work,” he says.
