IDF spokesman: IDF use of force was weak?

IDF Spokesman Ronen Manelis addressed the Eilat press conference on criticism of the escalation last week.

"Anyone who says that the IDF's operation last week was flimsy simply does not understand. Most Israeli citizens simply do not know the details. I understand that the expectation was that we would embark on a ground operation, but the last thing we can say is that the use of force was weak. "
