PM says Gaza border ‘quieter’ since 2014 war

While touring around the Gaza border earlier today, Netanyahu tells IDF soldiers that “the last two years have been the quietest in many years,” namely since the 2014 war, according to a statement from his office.

The prime minister, accompanied by Ya’alon and Eisenkot, is briefed on the security situation by an officer in the IDF’s Southern Command. He meets with soldiers stationed in the area, and visits the site of a Hamas cross-border tunnel discovered last month.

Netanyahu was speaking shortly before reports came in of gunfire along the Gaza border near the kibbutz of Nahal Oz.
