Rivlin pays condolence calls to families of Israelis killed in Gaza flare-up
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Reuven Rivlin visits the families of three of the four Israelis killed yesterday by Gaza terror groups in the flare-up in southern Israel to console them.
The three are Moshe Agadi, 58, killed when a rocket landed next to his home in Ashkelon; Ziad al-Hamamda, 47, killed in another rocket attack on a factory in Ashkelon; and Pinchas Menachem Prezuazman, 21, struck by rocket shrapnel while running for cover in Ashdod.
The fourth fatality was Moshe Feder, 68, killed when an anti-tank missile fired from Gaza struck his car near Kibbutz Erez.
In a tweet, Rivlin says terror hits all parts of Israeli society and vows the state will “never surrender to it.”
Ultra-Orthodox, secular, religious and traditional, Jews and Arabs – terror strikes us all without discrimination and without mercy and we will never surrender to it. We are together in celebration and in consolation and I pray with all my might that you will know no more sorrow

ניחמתי היום את משפחת פשווזמן אשר איבדה את בנה פנחס מנחם מרסיסי רקטה באשדוד, את משפחת אגדי, שאביה משה נהרג ביום שבת מירי הרקטות לעבר אשקלון, ואת משפחת אלחמאמדה שאיבדה את אביה זאיד בפגיעת הרקטה במפעל באשקלון.
