'Hamas knows our response is limited'

MK Ksenia Svetlova (Zionist Union) said on Monday that Israeli deterrence vis-à-vis Hamas is weakening.

"Hamas knows today that we are limited in terms of our responses and knows that what the IDF is doing is implementing the government's policy. They know that the government is not interested in a military operation and does not want to harm civilians," Svetlova said in an interview on Radio Darom 101.5FM.
