Transportation Minister Miri Regev says the families of terrorists should be deported, following a shooting attack at Beersheba’s central bus station in which one person was killed and 10 were wounded.
“The time has come for a deterrent punishment that prevents attacks on Israeli territory,” Regev tweets.
Regev’s terse missive comes as unconfirmed reports name the perpetrator of the attack, who was shot dead, as an Israeli citizen from the Bedouin community in southern Israel.
