Netanyahu says to cut short US visit after rocket fire

Jerusalem (AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he would cut short his US visit and return home after a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit north of Tel Aviv, wounding five people.

“I have decided, due to the security incidents, to cut short my visit to the United States. I will meet President (Donald) Trump in a few hours and just after that I will return to Israel to lead closely the operations,” Netanyahu said in a video released by his office.
