Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman referred at the opening of the Yisrael Beytenu faction meeting to the IDF's explosion of the terror tunnel in Israel and said that it was "a perfect performance that is the result of a significant technological breakthrough. We won't tolerate violations of Israeli sovereignty."

"We have no interest in escalation and allowing anyone to harm Israeli sovereignty," Liberman said, stressing that there was no threat from the terror tunnel to residents in the Gaza vicinity.
