We will chase those who try to harm us: Ya’alon

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon promises to punish those responsible for today’s missile attack that left 2 soldiers dead.

“We will continue to pursue, at every time and place, the terrorists and those who sent them, and we will put our hand on everyone who wants to disrupt the lives of Israeli civilians,” he says in a statement. “Israel will show zero tolerance toward terrorist organizations, as we have done to this point, and will know to operate with full power and determination toward anyone who challenges it and tries to hurt its citizens. We will not let terrorist organization and rogue countries harm or try to harm the security of Israelis.”

Ya’alon also called on residents of the north to continue in their routines.
