i24 News – Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz today held an assessment over recent escalations with militant groups in Gaza, amid continuing Israeli-Palestinian tensions surrounding Yerushalayim’s holy basin.
The meeting with top defense officials included Israel’s army (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar, and the IDF’s Southern Command Commander.
“Ramadan is supposed to be a holiday of prayer,” Gantz said at the end of the forum. “Unfortunately, there are those who hold in their hands stones and Molotov cocktails instead of holy books.”
Violence between Palestinians and Israeli authorities at the Har Habayis has sparked fears over it escalating into a wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Gantz emphasized that Israel is working to protect Israeli citizens while allowing for the “freedom of worship” during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
“In recent days, terrorist organizations in Gaza have fired on Israeli territory,” he noted, referring to four rockets fired from the Gaza Strip toward Israel last week.
While no group claimed responsibility for the attacks, Hamas said after one of them that it was “keeping its finger on the trigger.”
Gantz put the responsibility for such attacks on Hamas, the Palestinian enclave’s governing body.
“Israel is the strongest country in the region,” he continued. “Terrorist organizations and perpetrators of incitement must remember: those whose economic, civilian, and military situation is unstable will be severely affected by any upheaval.”
Earlier on Sunday, Gantz also met with Beer Sheva Mayor Rubik Danilovich regarding the process of mobilizing the IDF to Israel’s southern Negev region.
How exactly is Israel the strongest country if the government cannot even take control over a tiny group of terrorists?
The stupidity of these Israeli Politicians is endless.
Even if by your sheer ego you actually believe that, don’t verbalize it for all your enemies to try and prove you wrong.

One day, perhaps soon, the Zionist idol will disappear into the dust-bin of history. May Hashem keep all His children safe and well both before and during and after that happens.
