Jewish Home leader calls to threaten Hamas leaders over fires
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the Jewish Home party calls to threaten Hamas’s leaders over the spike in incendiary balloon attacks from the Gaza Strip this week.
“100 fires in a single week on the Gaza periphery cannot be tolerated,” MK Rafi Peretz says in a statement.
“As a resident of the area, there’s nothing more heartbreaking than the smoke that rises from the fields — a year’s work lost. We have to respond forcefully. Our fields and our citizens are in danger, Hamas’s leader are in danger — that’s the balance” Israel should achieve with Hamas, he says.
Peretz is a former chief rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces.
