Netanyahu to Hamas: Don’t try us
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu warns Hamas not to “try us,” or you’ll face “much more force than Operation Protective Edge.
“We are working methodically and calmly against all threats, including threats from Hamas, both with defensive and offensive measures. And of course, in the event we attack the tunnels in the Gaza Strip, we will act very forcefully against Hamas, and with much more force than Operation Protective Edge,” he says, referring to the 50-day war in the Gaza Strip in 2014.
“I think they understand this in the region, understand this in the world,” he continues. “I hope we won’t need to, but our capabilities — both defensive and offensive — are developing rapidly, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to try us.”
