Responding to Operation Shield and Arrow, President Isaac Herzog commented: "I congratulate the IDF and our security forces for their comprehensive and intensive operations to thwart terrorism and protect the State of Israel and its citizens.
"We have many security-related challenges ahead of us, which obligate us to behave with responsibility, and we must all heed the instructions of the Home Front Command. All of us, in our hears and minds, are with the IDF, the security forces, and the residents of the South."
