President Reuven Rivlin said during a graduation ceremony at the IDF's officer school that Israel will act to prevent incendiary rockets from harming Gaza-belt communities.
"Israel is a strong and growing country," said Rivlin. "Recently, we are facing various challenges in the northern and southern borders, and only today the residents of the Gaza vicinity were subjected to another criminal attack by Hamas. If we are called upon, heaven forbid, to wage war, we will find ourselves in a confrontation in one or more spheres, we will act resolutely against any threat. "
