Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on Twitter calls on the world to condemn the earlier rocket attacks from Lebanon and overnight attacks from the Gaza Strip.

“First day of Passover. As we sit at the holiday table, family and friends, Israel is facing rockets from south and north. This is not a coincidence. No one should test us, we will take all necessary measures to defend our country and people,” Cohen says.

“I call on the international community to issue a clear statement against those responsible for the attacks on Israel,” he adds.

At least 34 rockets were launched from Lebanon today. Last night and early this morning, several rockets and anti-aircraft missiles were launched from the Gaza Strip, triggering alarms.
