Netanyahu on northern border: ‘We will hurt those who attack us’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the northern border on Tuesday.
“We are prepared for every scenario,” he says. “Anyone who tries to hurt us, we will hurt them,” he adds, a reference to heightened terror activity on the Golan and increased Hezbollah and Iranian activity on Israel’s border.
After concluding the visit, Netanyahu says he was impressed by the preparedness and determination of the troops.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon says Tuesday that the Golan theater is restive, and that Iran is working to destabilize the region.
