Kiryat Shmona Mayor Avichai Stern asks the military’s Northern Command chief if he still believes it is safe for people to return to the north after at least five rockets were fired from Lebanon at Metula this morning.
“I have just one question for the head of the IDF’s Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, that said there is nothing preventing a return to the north — do you still think that?” Stern says in a statement cited by Hebrew media outlets.
