Minister Cohen told Radio 103FM that the operation was a significant success. We showed intelligence and operational capabilities, I think we strengthened our deterrence. We changed the equation to one where we initiated and operated in a significant manner, and we managed to isolate Jihad, said Cohen He added: We showed that there could be internal arguments, but when it comes to the nation's security, we are all united. We get everyone back. To reach a specific person at a point in time when he knows he's wanted certainly improves our deterrence. Israel can get to anyone anywhere, and we proved it. When asked if the annual Jerusalem Day Flag March could cause a renewed escalation, he answered: We don't need to make any changes; Jerusalem is our capital. We intend for the march to carry on as planned.
