Netanyahu: Threat of terror is greater than ever - Haaretz - Israel News: "As Israel commemorated Memorial Day for its fallen soldiers and victims of terror on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the global threat of terror was greater than ever and vowed that Israel would never cease to defend itself.
'We have no choice but to fight terror until it is obliterated and to defend our lives,' he told bereaved families gathered for the official state ceremony on the Mount Herzl military ceremony in Jerusalem.
'This is what we have done and what we are doing. The State of Israel, through the Israel Defense Forces, has responded with war, determination and diligence, with courage and sophistication, using an incomparable morality of combat,' he said.

'Terror is a war crime, the indiscriminate murder of innocent civilians,' the prime minister added.
Israelis stood silently at attention on Tuesday morning as a two-minute siren wailed across the country to mark Memorial Day. The official day of remembrance opened on Monday evening and will continue into Independence Day after sundown on Tuesday."
