PM Netanyahu (Archive photo: GPO/Amos Ben Gershom)Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning (Wednesday, 18 June 2014), met
with participants in the 29th Israel International Mayors Conference and said at the start of the meeting:
„Last night, the IDF and the ISA put dozens of Hamas terrorists back in prison including some who were released in the framework of the agreement to return Gilad Shalit. I praise the soldiers and commanders – from the IDF, ISA and the Israel Police. They have done, and are doing, excellent work. As soon as the Cabinet made its decision, they successfully carried out this complicated mission in less than a day. We are in the midst of a wide-ranging operation. It will yet include many actions
against the terrorists that attack, murder and kidnap Israeli citizens and want to destroy the State of Israel. We are fighting terrorism and Hamas will continue to pay a heavy price for abducting Eyal, Gilad and Naftali, the three youths who were on their way home to their parents.” |
