Eshkol regional leader: ‘We won’t be quiet until rocket threat neutralized’
Eshkol regional chairman Haim Yellin says that residents of the southern towns near the Gaza Strip “won’t be quiet until the end of the campaign which includes the neutralization of the rocket threat on our communities.”
“The prime minister and defense minister promised that they wouldn’t accept fire on the state of Israel — that’s not just a political guarantee, that’s a basic promise of the government to its residents and it must make it happen with full force,” Ynet quotes the southern leader saying.
Since this morning, 10 rockets fired from Gaza have struck the Eshkol region.
