IDF General Yoav Mordechai told Al Hur news that Israel would punish Gazan transportation companies whose busses were used in transporting protestors to Friday's mass march into Israel. "Personal measures will be taken against anyone who uses buses to attend the violent demonstrations and against the company he owns," said Mordechai. "We contacted more than 20 bus company managers whom Hamas paid to encourage people who did not want to leave the house and take part in these violent demonstrations."
