Press Release 12.11.19

The SAJBD calls on our government to condemn in the strongest possible terms the ongoing rocket attacks directed against Israeli citizens over the past twelve hours. Thus far more than 170 rockets have been indiscriminately and relentlessly shot into towns and cities in the centre of Israel, home to more than a million civilians. Thirty-nine residents have been injured, including an 8-year-old girl. There’s never any justification for the deliberate targeting of innocent women and children as is currently taking place by Islamic Jihad from Gaza.
