Following the IDF announcement that it has killed the terrorist who murdered pregnant woman Tzeela Gez in a terror shooting last week, her widower Hananel welcomes the development but says it is a “drop in the ocean.”

“How can one be happy with it?” he says in a video posted online. “There is a nation of murderers living among us, who day after day only want to kill us. Jews are still afraid and do not feel safe. We’re playing a ping pong of terror attack and then elimination, again and again. What did we think? That eliminating one [terror] cell will fix everything?”

Gez urges leaders to “radically change” their outlook and to “get this evil out of our Land of Israel, 100%. Only this way will we be able to live here securely.”
