Head of southern towns calls on government to secure calm
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the Ashkelon coastal region of southern Israel, Yair Farjoun, tells Army Radio that the government must not ignore the sporadic rocket fire at Israeli citizens near the Gaza Strip.
“We want silence — and our political leadership will be tested by bringing quiet now,” he says. “The south needs to be quiet just like the rest of the country needs to be quiet — and that it doesn’t remain beneath the ‘drizzle of rocket fire’ that’s continued for years already.”
