Israeli mayor calls for wiping out Gaza neighborhoods in case of rocket fire
JERUSALEM (AA) – The mayor of Sderot has called for wiping out neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip in case rockets are fired towards Israel.
“If they launch rockets from a certain area, the entire neighborhood must be wiped out,” Alon Davidi told Israeli Army Radio.
“The entire area must be exterminated, and we must work systematically,” he added.
Israeli authorities said Monday that nine rockets had been fired from Gaza into the city, of which five were intercepted.
According to the Israeli army, around 9,500 rockets and drones have been launched towards Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen since Oct. 7.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since an attack by Hamas which Tel Aviv claims killed 1,140 people.
Israel has killed at least 24,285 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and 61,154 injured, according to Palestinian health authorities.
According to the UN, 85% of the population of Gaza is already internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.
