Meanwhile, Mr Naor Gilon, Israel’s Ambassador to India appreciated the support of the people of India for his country as it stood in the face of terrorism.
He said that Israel was currently fighting to repel coordinated, large and multi pronged palestinian terror attacks. These attacks which were launched early this morning by Hamas on Israeli civilians, sleeping peacefully in their beds, in cities and villages of the south and central Israel were war crimes.
”The cowardly actions of Hamas, targeting and killing women, children and elderly, injuring hundreds of civilians and firing indiscriminately over 2000 missiles and rockets at our cities, came during the sacred Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. Israel will repel this combined assault of rocket fire and ground infiltration of Hamas terrorists and will take any and all actions to protect our citizens,” Mr Gilon added.
