Opposition leader Yair Lapid backs the military strikes against the Islamic Jihad terror group in Gaza.

“I give my support to the security forces for this operation against the Islamic Jihad in Gaza,” Lapid tweets.

“This morning, terror groups in Gaza know that the intelligence community and the security forces are following their every move and every step and the score will be settled,” Lapid says.

“An Israeli response at the time and place of our choosing is the way to deal with terror from Gaza. We will support any operation to defend the residents of the south,” he says.
