The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel Danny Ayalon launched Monday, March 21, death threats against leaders of Hamas in the wake of firing dozens of rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. "If Hamas decides to escalate, we will end (...) We have several levels of action before ground forces enter [in Gaza], including direct threats against the leaders Hamas, "warned Mr.
Ayalon public radio. The warning from Mr Ayalon, Israel's ultranationalist party member-Beiteinu head of Israeli diplomacy Avigdor Lieberman, has been launched while the situation remained very tense at the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, controlled by the Islamist Hamas. A rocket fired from Gaza exploded Sunday in the Israeli city of Ashkelon without causing any casualties or damage.
The attack occurred just after firing by the Ezzedine al-Qassam, the armed wing of Hamas than fifty shells into Israeli territory after the death of two of its militants the previous day. These shots, unprecedented since the Israeli offensive Cast Lead in December 2008/January 2009 against the Gaza Strip, lightly wounding two Israelis and caused minor damage.
They provoked immediate retaliation from the Israeli army, which injured five Palestinians and caused power outages. In a statement, the Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned that Israel would take "all measures necessary to protect its citizens." In addition, the bodies of two young Palestinians killed by gunfire from Israeli soldiers were discovered Sunday in southeast Gaza City, said the Palestinian emergency services.
The resumption of hostilities between Hamas and Israel comes as the Islamist movement and the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, based in Ramallah (West Bank), attempt a reconciliation after demonstrations demanding an end to divisions interpalestiniennes.
