Rafi Ben Shitrit, former mayor of Beit Shean whose son Sgt. Elroy Ben Shitrit was killed in battle at Nahal Oz, said at a protest in Tel Aviv's Habima Square that 'since the government explicitly refuses to establish a state commission of inquiry, we demand tonight that our elected officials take responsibility. All those responsible for the failure and everyone who held key positions - everyone must go home.'
