Lapid: ‘We will not sit on our hands while our children are bombed’
Yesh Atid chief MK Yair Lapid visits Sderot, meets with its mayor Alon Davidi and is briefed on the developments of the past 24 hours.
“Hamas has to understand that Israel will not tolerate nights like the one we just had with rockets and mortars being fired at our women and children,” Lapid says.
“This situation is intolerable and it is unsustainable. We will not sit on our hands while our children are bombed by a terrorist organization which uses its own children as human shields. Israel has every right to protect itself from terrorism.”
