Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmid escalating rocket and incendiary balloon attacks from the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns Gaza-based terror groups that Israel is prepared for “crushing action” if the attacks continue.
“I want to make this clear: we won’t accept any aggression from Gaza. Just a few weeks ago, we took out the top commander of Islamic Jihad in Gaza [Baha Abu al-Ata], and I suggest to Islamic Jihad and Hamas to refresh their memories,” Netanyahu says today at the opening of the weekly cabinet meeting at his office in Jerusalem.
“I won’t lay out in detail all our actions and plans in the media, but we’re prepared for a crushing action against the terror groups in Gaza. Our actions are powerful, and they’re not finished yet, to put it mildly.”
