Peretz says 'six years of overlooking Qassam attacks have come to an end'
Defense Minister Amir Peretz commented on Qassam rocket attacks against Sderot during a ceremony commemorating Israel's fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism for Memorial Day.
"Six years of turning a blind eye have ended, and from now on no one will be immune. We will operate across the border," Peretz said, warning enemy countries not to initiate wars against Israel. He added that he believed a diplomatic breakthrough could be reached. (Shmulik Hadad)
