Minister calls for another ground offensive

Housing Minister Uri Ariel calls for another ground incursion into the Gaza Strip to remove the rocket threat once and for all.

“The actions until now did not bring quiet — it’s clear there is no choice but a ground offensive,” he tells Channel 2. He says it should be done “soon, strongly, and quickly.”

With regard to the IDF targeting of the senior Hamas leader, he says: “I hope the reports that Muhammad Deif is no longer, are true.”
