Minister Naftali Bennett has dismissed Defense Minister Liberman's statement that Hamas is sending children to launch arson balloons at Israel. Bennett said, "Enough of the excuses and the stories that it's only children. That's not true, most of the incendiary kite and balloons launchers are adult terrorists."
The chairman of the Jewish Home Party continued, "If we had liquidated those terrorists at the launching of the first fire balloons, the arson terror would have ended immediately, as in the terrorism against the fence. We must not wait for a disaster. We must eliminate every terrorist who tries to murder us."
