MK Amir Peretz (Zionist Union) has called the mortar fire this morning from Gaza "a step up, and is unlike any other incident since Tzuk Eitan [Operation Protective Edge in 2014 -ed.]."
The former defense minister continued, "The IDF must react more severely than in the past. It does not matter if it is Hamas or Islamic Jihad. Hamas is the owner of the house in the Gaza Strip and has to pay the price."
