“We will not tolerate any disturbance of the quiet, and in the face of any such disturbance we will respond swiftly and firmly,” Rivlin said during a meeting with dozens of soldiers of the Bedouin Tracker Unit, combat engineers, and from the Givati Brigade.

 

He went on to say that “On both sides of the border there are civilians who want to live in quiet and we will be sure that the citizens of Israel will continue to live in harmony. We do not seek war.”
