The head of the Sderot Security Council, Elon Davidi, said Wednesday that State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss’s report shows that the government has abandoned Sderot and the western Negev. Lindenstrauss lambasted the IDF for failing to prevent rocket and mortar attacks from the Palestinian Authority-controlled Gaza region.
The most serious problem, Davidi said, is that while IDF officials are ready to fix past mistakes, the government is preventing them from doing so. The IDF is ready for an operation in Gaza to deal with the attacks, he said, but the government prefers to abandon Sderot residents and leave them under constant threat of attack.
