Singer urges IDF to reduce Gaza ‘to dust’ after rocket shard falls near his home
Rocket shards from a successful interception fell near the southern Tel Aviv home of veteran Israeli singer Yishai Levi, causing him to call on the government to launch a ground operation inside the Gaza Strip.
Speaking with Channel 12 news, Levi urges the forces “not to exit until they [Hamas] are [reduced to] dust.”
“It was one centimeter from my backyard,” he tells the Ynet news site. “We heard a very loud boom at first, and then there was the sound of falling metal. I’m fine.”
שברי רקטה נפלו בסמוך לביתו של הזמר ישי לוי בדרום תל אביב. ״זה היה סנטימטר מהגינה שלי. שמענו בום מאוד חזק בהתחלה ואז היה בום של ברזל נופל. אני בסדר גמור״ pic.twitter.com/Fu6iVbt9sW
