Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu pays condolence calls to the families of two victims in yesterday’s shooting attack in Bnei Brak, calling for the government to act with a “strong hand” against terror.

In comments to reporters, Netanyahu hails the “heroism” of the police and says Israel is now “under a murderous terror assault,” after 11 people were killed in three attacks over the past week.

“We must restore peace and security to Israeli citizens,” he says.

“Unfortunately everyone sees a government dependent on the Islamic Movement isn’t doing this and probably isn’t capable of doing this,” he adds, referring to the coalition’s Ra’am party.
