Earlier, in a separate video, Netanyahu appeared at a café outside Jerusalem while sipping a cup of coffee.
"I'm dead for coffee," he said, then raised both hands to the camera and asked: "Do you want to count the number of fingers?" He also appealed to citizens to follow safety instructions during any rocket alerts. Their resilience, he said, gave strength to him, the government, the army and the Mossad intelligence agency.
