Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud) has defended the IDF's Chief of Staff, Gadi Eizenkot, from criticism that he has mishandled the escalation of terror attacks from Gaza Strip.
"Attempts to present the chief of staff, through unilateral attacks and selectivity in the media as someone who is afraid to act against terrorists in Gaza, are completely unacceptable and distortions of reality," Katz said.
