Erdan says more aggressive airstrikes on Gaza would lead to ground war
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan defends the government’s efforts to avoid escalation in Gaza.
Responding to some ministers who have demanded more aggressive airstrikes in response to incendiary balloon attacks from Gaza, he tells Army Radio this morning that doing so could lead to a ground war in Gaza.
“We have to understand that Hamas will return fire with rockets and missiles on the Gaza periphery, and then we won’t have any choice but to launch a broad ground incursion into the Strip,” Erdan says.
