Barak: 750,000 citizens in bomb shelters is unacceptable
Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Sunday said that “Hamas, from our point of view, is responsible for everything that happens in the [Gaza] Strip and for all of the [terrorist] organizations that operate there.”
Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting, he added, “we will not accept actions that harm our citizens, actions like the firing on the bus, or attempts to put three-quarter of a million citizens in bomb shelters.” The defense minister was referring to an incident on Thursday when an anti-tank missile was fired at a school bus, leaving a 16-year-old in critical condition and the firing of over 120 rockets and mortar shells over the weekend.
