(Prime Minister's Office) Speaking at the U.S. Embassy July 4th reception, Prime Minister Olmert said: "A Kassam rocket landed in the heart of Ashkelon on the Ronson High School. This is an unprecedented and severe escalation in the terrorist war being waged by Hamas, which currently controls the Palestinian Authority. I say here and now: This action, this attack, this criminal attempt that was intended to harm Israeli citizens living within the sovereign State of Israel, will have unprecedented and far-reaching consequences. Hamas will be the first to feel this."
