Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid said that while the death of Hamas official Nur Barakeh was not the goal of the IDF operation in the Gaza Strip on Sunday night, "he was a legitimate target... Hamas leaders should know they don't enjoy any immunity," he said during a Monday party meeting.
"I wish to extent support to the [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's] administration," Lapid said, "such operations can not be taken without risk as they are not done in a lab, they have our backing for such cases as well, when things do not go according to plan."
