PM promises tit for tat on attacks against Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel “won’t allow anyone to disturb the quiet” on the country’s borders, the Walla news site reports.
Speaking in Eilat, Netanyahu says that any attack on Israel will draw a retaliatory strike in return.
“Even when we have a peaceful border, we are concerned with security,” he says.
Last month, the Islamic State in Sinai launched four rockets at the southern city. Three were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, while the fourth hit an open field.
In recent weeks, terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip launched rockets at Israel, fired shots at troops and placed improvised explosive devices along the security fence.
