Likud minister: Israel ‘must stop procrastinating and deal a fatal blow to Hezbollah’

Israel “must stop procrastinating and deal a fatal blow to Hezbollah,” demands Culture and Sport Minister Miki Zohar of the ruling Likud party, following today’s rocket strike on a soccer field in the northern town of Majdal Shams.
Bemoaning the deaths of “kids who just wanted to play soccer” and were instead “brutally murdered by the cursed enemy,” Zohar says that “the more we postpone the campaign, the more painful prices we will pay.”
“The red line was crossed a long time ago. It is time for action.”
