Mayor of Ashkelon, Tomer Glam, referred to the escalation in the south in an interview on Galei Tzahal.

"We are tired of hearing promises. I call on Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Minister of the Interior - give us the minimum tools to deal with the situation."

"The city has been under attack for 11 years and unfortunately this keeps on going," said Glam, who also released an update on the current state of affairs in the Ashkelon: "School studies are taking place this morning as usual. There are no special instructions [but] you have to be alert and careful."
