Netanyahu: Gaza Attacks Will be Answered

(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned Monday that Israel would not accept rocket attacks from Gaza, “not even a trickle.” The military will respond quickly to each and every attack, he said.

"We will not put up with rocket fire on our towns,” Netanyahu told former Jewish residents of Gaza in a visit to the town of Shomriya. “It's not natural.”

Israel will not put up with any rocket fire, he added, “Not a drizzle, not a trickle, not a single attack.” Attacks from Gaza have slowed dramatically since the three-week counterterror offensive Cast Lead in late December and early January, but towns in southern Israel still suffer from sporadic assaults.
