Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns that Israel will reach all those who try to harm Israel.
“This morning we targeted the commander of the Islamic Jihad’s missile array in Gaza. Now, just an hour ago, we targeted his deputy as well,” says Netanyahu on a visit to a military base.
“I have already said, anyone who comes to harm us — their blood will be on their heads, including anyone who replaces him,” Netanyahu says.
Netanyahu is visiting the operators of the medium-range David’s Sling missile defense system that was successfully used for the first time to down a missile over Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu praises the team, saying they are doing “sacred work” to defend Israel’s skies and citizens.
“We will continue to act defensively and offensively until the end of the campaign,” he says.
