Right-wing Knesset member Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) has renewed his call for assassinating senior Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip justifying his call this time by saying it is necessary to prevent flaming kite attacks that cause agricultural damage to Israeli fields.
Yogev made his remarks after flying firebombs attached to kites which were launched by Gaza protesters sparked three fires in Israeli territory.
Gaza protesters use flaming kites as a means to respond to the Israeli army’s recent mass murders of compatriots on the eastern border with Israel and its repeated bombing and bulldozing of agricultural areas inside the besieged enclave.
The Knesset member labeled these counterattacks as “kite terror” inciting the Israeli government and army to respond to them by killing Hamas leaders in Gaza.
“To respond to this kite terror we need to hit the head. We need to hit the heads of Hamas with targeted eliminations” he told Israel’s Channel 7. “They said there’s someone responsible in Gaza? So he can pay the price.”
Last April Yogev had called for murdering Hamas leaders in response to March of Return rallies taking place near the Gaza border fence with Israel.
