(Worthy News) – Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned on Sunday that Israel’s northern communities are severely unprepared for war.
“The better [preparedness] is in the South, in the area around the Gaza Strip. The worst situation is in the North,” he said at a conference organized by Yediot Aharonot.
Liberman said that since the Second Lebanon War in 2006, the government has invested some NIS 1.7 billion ($485 million) in protective facilities in southern Israel around the Gaza Strip, where some 46,000 residents live, spending an estimated NIS 37,000 ($10,600) per resident.
