Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman toured area around Gaza this morning for a first-hand look at preparations by forces in the area. With a message for Gaza residents, ahead of the scheduled renewal of the Hamas protest march on Friday, he said, "I think that the other side has understood that it is not worth its while to continue, and I warn them of the continuation of the provocation. We have established clear rules of the game and we are not going to change them."
He continued, "Anyone who comes close to the fence endangers his life and I suggest that the people of Gaza invest their efforts not in protests against Israel, but in changing the leadership within the Strip, the same leadership that instead of focusing on the development of electricity, water and education infrastructure is investing $260 million in terrorist infrastructure, tunneling and manufacturing rockets."
