Four people were killed two days ago in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. Two twin brothers, Muhammad and Khalid Mahamre, from the military wing of the Palestinian movement of Hamas, the 'Brigades of Izeddina al-Qassam' gang shot near the 'Saron' popular market where restaurants and shops are located opposite the Ministry of Defence buildings and the General Staff.
The member of the Directorate of the International Association Israel-Azerbaijan 'Aziz' Shaul Siman Tov said in an interview with a 'Vestnik Kavkaza' correspondent how the Israelites are overcoming these tragic events and what steps should be taken by the authorities to combat terrorism and extremism.
"Mountain Jew, Mila Mikheeva was killed in the terrorists' attack. She and her friend were at a cafe in the shopping center at that time. Today I and Rauf Agalarov represent the 'Aziz' Association, the International Fund STMEGI. Rauf Agalarov is also the head at the Ministry of absorption. He works with people from the Caucasus. Together we represented the International Azerbaijan-Israel association 'Aziz', as well as the International Moscow charity fund STMEGI. We laid flowers and wreaths from these organizations. There were a lot of people - relatives, ordinary residents of the city who came to express their condolences,'' the member of the Directorate of the International Association Israel-Azerbaijan Aziz.
"The ceremony was attended by the mayor of the city of Ashkelon, Benny Vaknin, who delivered a speech. The sister and brother of the killed girl spoke at the ceremony. Religious leaders expressed their wishes. It was extremely sad event. We hope that the appointment of Avigdor Lieberman to the post of Israeli defense minister will bring positive results. According to yesterday's and today's information, there is already some progress, so we hope that terrorists will realize who they are fighting against," Shaul Siman Tov said.
Answering the question about the necessary steps to combat terrorism, he said that the state should fight against terrorists in a strict way.
"We need to fight against them, their families not now, but in general. Usually the house of a suicide bomber or a terrorist who committed a attack is written off the map. I believe that this it is not an effective method: it is necessary to solve this question in a more radical way: deprive of citizenship, expel from the country, stop supplying them with gas, electricity and water. I am a supporter of strict measures, but this is my personal opinion because we should fight against terrorist with the help of force. They understand only the language of force. They think that weakness is cowardice," Shaul Siman Tov concluded
