Home Front Command chief: 'We failed to protect the South'

Major General Rafi Milo of the Home Front Command said that he takes responsibility for the terrorist attack by Hamas that led to the outbreak of the war in Gaza on Wednesday night.

At a closed meeting on emergency preparedness, in which Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and other senior officials took part, Milo said, "We failed in guarding the southern front. We cannot return people to their homes until we prove that life in Gaza has changed. Until the public sees it, there is no confidence in our security. The goal is of the operation that there will be no military or political rule by Hamas."
