The Prime Minister's Office on Friday morning responded to the rocket fire from Gaza, emphasizing that Israel will fulfill its goal of eliminating Hamas.
"The Hamas-ISIS terror group violated the agreement, did not keep its commitment to release, today, all of the women hostages, and launched rockets at Israel's citizens," the PMO said in a statement.
"With the renewal of the fighting, we emphasize: The government of Israel is committed to achieving the goals of the war: to release our hostages, eliminate Hamas, and ensure that Gaza will never again present a threat to Israel's citizens."
