Chairman Tamir Idan of the Sdot Negev Regional Council has responded to Sunday night's rocket fire from Gaza by saying, "We expect and demand that the security forces respond with force and make it clear to the terrorists that the State of Israel is determined not to allow continued firing."
Idan added, "We are not prepared for the state of emergency to become routine in our lives and to say in clear language that we are strong and determined and back the security forces."
