Chairman Gadi Yarkoni of the Eshkol Regional Council has expressed his disappointment at the lack of military response to the rocket fire from Gaza that hit Be'er Sheva' on Tuesday evening.
Interviewed by Channel 10 Television, Yarkoni said, "We should have used the incident in Be'er Sheva' to restore deterrence, and unfortunately this did not happen. There is no need to enter the ground for Gaza, but it is imperative that their leaders be afraid to walk down the street. Yesterday, in a conversation with us, the prime minister sounded determined to take significant action and this morning we were surprised to discover that nothing had been done and were returning to normal."
