Peres: Israel must respond 'immediately' to rocket attacks
Israeli President Shimon Peres has condemned the weekend rocket attacks by Gaza militants on southern Israel as "idiotic" and said Israel must respond "fully and immediately."
He was speaking before today's wave of attacks, which saw the back of a house destroyed in Netivot.
– President Shimon Peres, speaking to The Jerusalem PostIt’s the most idiotic shooting in the world, because if you shoot and you don’t know what you want to achieve, what’s the point? Do they want to destroy Israel? Do they want to make our lives miserable?
If they shoot, we have to respond fully and immediately. There is no room for any consideration.
