Minister: Mortar fire from Gaza shows Fatah-Hamas reconciliation a ‘fig leaf’
Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz says Israel will continue with its “zero tolerance” policy toward fire from the Gaza Strip shortly after some 15 mortar shells were fired from Gaza at IDF troops near the border.
The mortar fire “proves that [PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s] presence in Gaza [in the framework of Fatah-Hamas reconciliation] is no more than a fig leaf hiding a reality of armed and belligerent terror groups,” Katz is quoted as saying by Hadashot news.
“Israel will continue to see Hamas as responsible,” he says.
