Itongadol.- Speaking about the attack on the Lebanon border, Netanyahu says that Israel is "always aware of threats around us."
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu opened up the cabinet meeting Tuesday on the budget by addressing the incident along the northern border, and thanking the soldiers there for foiling an attack.
“We proved that we respond with force against any attempt to attack us, whether it is from the South, the North, or any other sector,” Netanyahu said. “We are witness to threats accumulating around us, threats of which the whole world is now aware, and is even dealing with some of them.”
These threats, he said, necessitate investing massively in security, as well as investing heavily in communities along the confrontation borders.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya\’alon also commented on the attack in the North, saying that "Hezbollah is responsible for planting the explosive devices and setting them off today, and that\’s why its targets were struck. There is a phenonemon here of a state within a state, and we see the Lebanese government as also being responsible for this incident."
