Aharonovich: Response to escalation should have been tougher
Discussing the newly implemented calm, Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich said: “There is an understanding that they stop firing and we stop firing. The minute they stop we have no interest to continue. But if another targeted assassination like last Friday’s is necessary, we will carry it out and enter another round if need be.”
“This round was too long, unnecessarily so, and we should have increased our response. We need to learn our lessons so that next time the response will be harder and more painful,” said the minister. (Ilana Curiel)
