Minister: If Islamic Jihad behind latest rocket fire, Israel must respond
A Likud minister says the Israeli air force must retaliate if the rocket fire aimed at Israel earlier today in violation of a ceasefire is determined to have been carried out by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group.
“If the fire at Netivot was carried out by Islamic Jihad, we must respond with IDF strikes,” Ofir Akunis tells Army Radio. “That we agreed to a ceasefire doesn’t mean that we have to leave the field open to their mad whims.”
