      Vilnai 'Unafraid of terrorists'


      Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai toured the spot where a Gaza terror rocket hit Ashkelon Thursday.
      Vilnai defended himself against calls from the audience regarding the government's supposed cowardice regarding a Gaza operation.

      "We are not afraid of a wide scale operation in Gaza, and we will act whenever we can," he said. "Going into hysteria creates an opposite effect on the terrorists' side. "
