Israeli President vows to ‘hit terror nests around world’

In unusually tough remarks, President Shimon Peres responded Thursday, July 19 to the Burgas terror attack saying that Israel “will hit terror nests around world,” The Jerusalem Post reported.

A suicide bomber was responsible for the Wednesday terror attack targeting Israeli tourists at the Burgas Airport in which five Israelis were killed, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said Thursday. The suspected bomber was carrying a U.S. passport believed to be fake, according to the Sofia News Agency.

"It [Israel] has the means and the will to silence terror organizations," said Peres.

Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said that they possess solid information that Hezbollah, in close cooperation with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out the terror attack.

According to Liberman, Israel's information identifies with certainty and beyond all doubt the Iranian fingerprint on the attack, but did not specify further.

“Iran and Hezbollah have not stopped operating against Israel for a moment,” he added.
