Peres in Ashdod: Hamas knows they'll get hit if they fire
President Shimon Peres visited Ashdod on Monday and met with Mayor Yehiel Lasri, following the escalation in rocket fire from the Gaza Strip in recent days.
During the visit, Peres said he hopes the recent lull will continue, saying that Hamas also prefers to stop because "they know that if they fire, they'll get hit back." (Shmulik Hadad)
