'Reality obliges us to respond and protect'

MK Motti Yogev (Jewish Home), a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, on Saturday night called on the defense establishment to respond decisively to the Hamas-led attacks along the Gaza border.

"Despite our desire not to start a war in the Gaza Strip at this time, the reality obliges us to respond and to protect. We must harm senior Hamas officials, not wait for them to harm us,” said Yogev.
