Security cabinet member: All options on table, including Gaza ground incursion
Economy Minister Eli Cohen, a member of the security cabinet that votes on military operations, says he will urge his fellow cabinet ministers to vote for a “powerful” military response to Hamas’s launch of a rocket early this morning that wounded seven people in a village north of Tel Aviv.
“Our deterrence has eroded,” Cohen, of the Kulanu party, says on a visit to the destroyed home in Mishmeret, north of Kfar Saba. “We have to change our policy and get back to targeted killings. To me, any rocket fired at Sderot, Gush Dan and the Sharon region should draw a powerful response.”
He adds: “All options are on the table, including a ground incursion.”
