Northern council head tears into PM and cabinet members after Majdal Shams rocket attack

The head of the Confrontation Line Forum, a grouping of northern regional council heads, tears into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the government after numerous people were injured — including nine critically — in a Hezbollah rocket attack on a soccer field in Majdal Shams.

“I’m furious!” Moshe Davidovich, head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and the forum’s chairman, says in a statement.

“It seems that until rockets land in Caesarea, the prime minister and cabinet members will continue with the policy of ignoring the north,” he continues, referring to the coastal town where Netanyahu has a home. “I call on the government to wake up from the coma and act now.”
