Israeli Army Boss Vows To Hunt Terrorists

By Haaretz April 5, 2012

IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz warned Thursday that Israel will ultimately find any terrorist that tries to launch attacks on Israeli citizens or the Jewish people.

“Whoever tries to test our power, from close or far, from Gaza or Sinai, or any other place, will face a clever and powerful army that is determined to defend Israel and subdue its enemies,” Gantz said on Thursday while speaking at a ceremony for outstanding officers.

Gantz said that the rocket that was fired toward Eilat early Thursday morning is a very grave act, and warned that Israel will find those responsible for attacks on its people.

He said that the IDF knows who is responsible for the terror attacks on Israelis and Jews overseas – such as in New Delhi and Toulouse.

“We know what is the source of these terror attacks,” Gantz said.
