Justice Minister: "Firing Rockets on Israel and Trying to Intentionally Kill Civilians Is a War Crime"

(Ynet News) Ronny Sofer - Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon said in an interview with Ynet Thursday, "Firing 40 Kassam rockets a day on Sderot and trying to intentionally kill civilians is a war crime." "Regretfully, in the war on terror there are some innocent people killed unintentionally," he added. These incidents "can be easily avoided if Israel ceases to be a target of daily terror emanating from the Gaza Strip; and this is taking place after Israel withdrew from the entire Strip and evacuated 8,000 Israelis from the area."
