In a post on Twitter, MK Nir Barkat (Likud) talked about his visit to the south:
"I continued my visit to the south during the incessant rocket fire from Gaza. I also visited Netivot where I met Mayor Yechiel Zohar, I also went to the Sdot Negev Regional Council where I met with Mayor Tamir Idan, and at Merhavim Regional Council where I met with Mayor Shai Hajj and Deputy Mayor Armstrong (Armie) Faraj."
