Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his country would take "all necessary measures" to protect its citizens, after Hamas launched about 50 shells into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. "The prime minister considered seriously ( ...) Hamas attacks against people of Israel. " Israel will take "all necessary measures to protect its citizens." Ezedin Al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas in power in the Gaza Strip in fact broke the truce observed since two years ago with Israel yesterday by firing about 50 shells into Israeli territory, causing two injuries, after death, this week, two Islamist fighters in the group.
These shots unprecedented since the Israeli offensive in December 2008 and January 2009 against the Gaza Strip, leaving two minor injuries and minor damage. The incidents provoked immediate retaliation by the Israeli Navy, which left five wounded Palestinians, as well as power outages. Ezedin Al Qassam Brigades in power in the Gaza Strip, claimed responsibility for the attack on Israeli towns bordering the Sofa, and Nahal Oz Kessufim.
An Israeli army spokesman confirmed that "dozens of salvos of artillery shells were fired at Israel". "Three of these devices fell into the district of Pithat Shalom in the Negev Desert (South), where civilians were slightly injured, and other two shells landed in the Eshkol district, further north, causing no injuries or damage.
" The Israeli military radio said it was 49 of these rockets that landed near the Gaza Strip, which caused little damage. Witnesses in Gaza, the Israeli Air Force bombed in retaliation for a Hamas security center in the Zeitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, and another site in the east of Khan Yunis in the south, near the border with Israel and the refugee camp of Deir el Balah in central Gaza.
In January, Hamas had renewed his instructions to the armed groups to respect the territory of a cease-fire with Israel. The firing of rockets from the Gaza Strip were smaller in number, but never ceased entirely. The Israeli foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, called on his country's delegation at the United Nations to submit a complaint against these acts.
In late February, the Gaza Strip crossed an escalation of violence after a deadly confrontation between the Israeli army and Islamist fighters and Grad rocket fire and mortar shells into southern Israel.
