Brigadier General and Deputy MK Tzvika Foghel of Otzma Yehudit was interviewed this morning on Galei Tzahal regarding the details of Operation Shield and Arrow.
According to him, "We are showing both Lebanon and Gaza the price [they will have to pay for attacking Israel] and we are targeting the terrorist organizations because they represent Iran. It is impossible to ignore the fact that Hamas is the sovereign in the Gaza Strip, therefore I do not call it a terrorist organization. We have to ensure they pay for [provoking us]."
"I don't want to be responsible for two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. If we manage to get the weapons out of the hands of Hamas - I am ready to give them an airport and a seaport tomorrow, but if they continue to attack us, they are in trouble," he added.
