On video: Lapid: "We will not allow the terrorist organizations to set an agenda" (Walla system!)

A barrage of rockets was launched this evening (Friday) towards the Gaza Strip, Ashkelon and the lowland area, and individual rockets were also launched at Bat Yam and Rishon Lezion.

No injuries were reported.

The launch comes as a response on the part of the Palestinian Jihad to the IDF's extensive attack against targets of the terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, as part of Operation "Dawn". This, after four days of tension and high alert in the south, following the arrest of a senior member of the terrorist organization in Samaria.

Simultaneously with the barrage And at the end of a security situation assessment in Karia, Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz made a statement. Lapid said that "the instruction received by the security forces was unequivocal: Israel will not stand by when they try to harm its residents.

This government's policy is zero tolerance for any attempted shooting - of any kind - that comes from Gaza towards Israeli territory."

The Prime Minister added, "We will not accept any ultimatum regarding the activities of the IDF and the security forces in other arenas as well. Anyone who needs to be arrested will be arrested. Any attempt to harm civilians or soldiers will be met with a heavy hand."

He noted that "Israel is not interested in a broad campaign in Gaza, but neither is it afraid of it."

He added, "Terrorist organizations will not set the agenda in Otef, we will not accept any threat to the residents."

Gantz agreed with his words and added that "our target is not the residents of the Gaza Strip, who are a tool in the deadly game of the terrorist organizations. Our target is not the workers who go to work in Israel or the farmers and merchants who export through the Kerem Shalom crossing and seek to make a living with dignity", and claimed that "those who bear responsibility for the deterioration, and harm Harming a direct establishment in the economy and security of the residents of Gaza are the leaders of the Islamic Jihad."
