Former Israeli National Security Adviser Yaakov Amidror said on Wednesday that the only way Israel will be able to completely stop the rocket fire from Gaza is for the IDF to retake the region.

"We’ve never had a crushing blow that hurt the other side’s the ability to launch missiles," Amidror told Channel 10 News, adding that he believes the only way to achieve complete quiet is to "retake Gaza and be there for six months to a year to clean it out."
