ISRAELI BASE AT REIM, Israel: Israel is ready to pay the price for the US decision to recognise Occupied al-Quds as its capital but will not accept Palestinian rocket fire, Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump?s December 6 decision to recognise Occupied al-Quds and move the US embassy there has led to near-daily protests in the Palestinian territories, with at least 15 rockets or projectiles fired at the Jewish state from the Gaza Strip.
A number have fallen inside the Palestinian enclave itself or been intercepted by Israel?s missile defence systems, but a few have hit Israel.
They have caused minor damage but no injuries, although the attacks have raised fears of a new round of confrontation with Gaza?s rulers Hamas, with which Israel has fought three wars since 2008.
