The Palestinian terrorists shooting rockets at Israel are also targeting ordinary Gazans, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett says in a video addressed to foreign media.
“Over the past 24 hours the Jihad Islamic terrorists shot over 250 rockets and missiles on Israelis.
“On our families. On our children. But these terrorists are not only out to kill Israelis,” he says, speaking in English. “In fact, they’re killing their own people in Gaza.”
For the cost of every rocket shot, a classroom could have been built in Gaza, he adds.
“Israeli security forces will hunt down every terrorist, until our children are secure and safe.
“The world must stand together and unite against radical Islamic terror, otherwise the world will feel its wrath,” he adds.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
