Last update - 21:29 13/03/2008 Barak vows Israel will continue pursuing murderers of Jews By Mazal Mualem, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service Tags: Ehud Barak, Qassam rockets  Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Thursday vowed that Israel would continue to pursue militants involved in terror attacks against Israeli citizens. Speaking at a memorial service for slain Israel Defense Forces soldiers whose burial locations are unknown, Barak said Israel had proven its commitment to this goal on Wednesday when Israel Defense Forces troops killed four wanted militants in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. "Yesterday in Bethlehem we demonstrated once again that the State of Israel will continue to pursue and strike all murderers with Jewish blood on their hands," Barak said. Advertisement In response to the raid on Bethlehem, Islamic Jihad launched at least 15 rockets at Israel on Thursday, ending a week-long Egyptian-brokered moratorium. The group called the rocket strikes an "initial" response to deadly Israel Defense Forces raids in the West Bank. A group spokesman in Gaza told Iranian-television had "wiped out any chance to talk about calm at this time" by killing four of its militants the day before. Meanwhile Thursday, opposition leader MK Benjamin Netanyahu called on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign, suggesting that his policies are weak on terror. "A prime minister who asks citizens of the state to accept rocket fire cannot continue in his post and should give his spot to someone who can fight terror," Netanyahu said, a few hours before he met with Olmert for a briefing.
