Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Thursday vowed to strike at those who attack Israel and said the Jewish state can never stop fighting terrorism, speaking hours after a Grad rocket fired from the Sinai Peninsula exploded in Eilat.

Speaking at a ceremony marking 40 years since the operation to free hostages on hijacked Sabena Flight 571, during which as a young commando he was shot and wounded, Netanyahu said Israel must constantly fight against those who perpetrate and plan terrorism." Israel must always fight terrorism, he continued, "It will not stop if we do not fight it."

The security fence being built along the southern border will not stop missiles, but a solution for that too will be found, he said.

A Grad-type rocket fired from Sinai exploded in a residential neighborhood of Israel's southernmost city early Thursday morning. Residents reported hearing three explosions, but police sappers only located the remnants of one Grad rocket.

Police were continuing to search for other rockets and holding security assessments in Eilat late Thursday morning, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

...and said the Jewish state can never stop fighting terrorism...

Why don't crazy jealous Arabs use their energy to make their own countries better. Why don't they leave the Jews alone? Are they nuts?

“We can never stop fighting terrorism...”

because we don’t have to political will to take their terrorism to their door and shove it up their collective rectal region! If we stopped the tit-for-tat crap and just opened up a can of whoopazz so violent and overwhelming that they wouldn’t dare challenge us again we’d get bored because no one would want to play with us in our sandbox ever again.
