Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman is downplaying a spate of infiltration incidents from Gaza to Israel.

“I see the headlines and the self-flagellation, it’s sheer madness,” he tells the Ynet news  website. “Can you totally prevent every mishap? No. Must you turn it into a tragedy? Also no.”

Earlier on Thursday, two Palestinians armed with a knife and wire cutters breached the security fence around Gaza in the fourth such incident in a week, despite the army being on high alert in the area.
