In an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FaceTheNation\/status\/1393943321211543553\">interview<\/a> Sunday, he pointed out Israel was hit by unprovoked attacks by Hamas on Jerusalem Day with thousands of rockets fired on the country\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu noted, any country has a \u201cnatural right of self-defense.\u201d The prime minister added, if Hamas thinks it can just fire rockets then sit back and enjoy immunity then they are sorely mistaken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are targeting a terrorist organization that is targeting our civilians and hiding behind their civilians, using them as human shields,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to hit the terrorists themselves, their rockets, their rocket caches and their arms, but we\u2019re not going to just let them get away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu added, if 2900 rockets were fired on Washington or New York, critics would probably better understand his position. He said Israel will continue to respond forcefully to attacks from Hamas for as long as it takes to restore security for his people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This past week, millions of Israelis were forced into bomb shelters as missiles rained down on our cities.<\/p>\n<p>Several Israelis have been killed. Many more have been wounded. You know and I know, no country would tolerate this. Israel will not tolerate this. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/INgjR91BS4\">pic.twitter.com\/INgjR91BS4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/netanyahu\/status\/1393701215041642496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The prime minister confirmed Saturday that Israel has eliminated dozens of terrorists and seriously degraded the infrastructure of Hamas, including missile launchers and a vast subterranean tunnel network.
