After a rocket fired by Gaza-based terrorists last night went unanswered, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells government ministers that Israel will respond “at the right time,” the Kan public broadcaster reports.

According to the report, Netanyahu made the remark in response to criticism from far-right Otzma Yehudit ministers Yitzhak Wasserlauf and Amichai Eliyahu, who demanded a response to the rocket attack.
