Likud MK: Israel’s response to Lebanon rockets should be ‘disproportionate’
Likud MK Danny Danon says Israel’s response to the afternoon barrage of rockets from Lebanon must be “disproportionate.”
“We don’t need to absorb [these rockets]. We need to respond in a language our enemies understand – the language of strength.”
“The response should be disproportionate. We should shock these terrorist organizations,” Danon continued.
He acknowledged that such a response by Israel could drag the region into a wider conflict but said, “What are we preparing the IDF for, if when dozens of rockets are fired into Israeli territory we do not react?”
