Speaking to Israeli public radio, Steinitz said that the thee Palestinian men who were killed on Saturday night were killed before they approached the security fence.
“We also bombed inside Gaza to clarify who is responsible, ”he said, referring to the bombing of Hamas positions.
“None of the former generals had and will not be a long-term solution to the Gaza problem. But when we try to achieve a long-term truce, we demand a calm in the Gaza envelope and the return of the (Israeli citizens) prisoners and the bodies of the two soldiers.
The truth is that Israel has never succeeded in preventing terrorism, ”he said, referring to Palestinian resistance operations.
Two reports said yesterday that the Israeli security service estimates that the storming of Palestinian fighters from the Gaza Strip into Israel on Saturday night – Sunday was not planned by Hamas but “a local initiative.”

With a month to go until the elections, a host of prominent politicians go on the offensive, calling the prime minister 'weak' after 2 rocket attacks and an infiltration attempt within 24 hours; 'Deterrence against Hamas hasn’t been eroded, it’s been erased,' says Gantz
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also holds the defense portfolio, faces growing criticism over his handling of the security situation in southern Israel. A host of prominent Israeli politician went on the offensive Sunday, attacking Netanyahu after a tense weekend on the Gaza border, with just a month to go until the September 17 elections.
Palestinian militants in Gaza fired at least four rockets into the southern city of Sderot within 24 hours over the weekend, with three projectiles being intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system.
In addition, medical sources in the enclave said Sunday that three Palestinians, who according to Israeli military were trying to infiltrate the border with Israel, were killed by IDF fire and another was left seriously wounded.
Former Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman was among the first to come out against the prime minister. "He is an excellent presenter but a weak leader who lacks leadership and is incapable of making decisions in times of crisis," wrote the Yisrael Beytenu chairman on his Facebook page.
"Again, we are faced with the unbridled behavior of the prime minister, who is currently on his way to the Ukraine to film an election propaganda, while the residents of the south are being held hostage,” Liberman added.
Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz joined in on the criticism when he visited the Israeli communities bordering the Strip on Sunday morning. “The deterrence hasn’t been eroded, it’s been erased,” said the former IDF chief.
“We will defeat Hamas militarily, we’ll bring quiet to the residents of the south, and will not allow this to spill over into the West Bank.”
Gantz’s fellow Blue and White party member and another former IDF chief of staff, Gaby Ashkenazi, said the prime minister is “only preoccupied with himself.”
"The prime minister is weak, only preoccupied with himself and just wants quiet ahead of the elections,” said Ashkenazi. “This situation has been dragging on for over a decade. It’s incomprehensible that residents have to run to bomb shelters while they’re eating dinner. It's not just a strategic issue, it's every country’s basic duty to protect its residents.”
Finally, Former Education Minister Naftali Bennett visited the scene of Saturday’s car-ramming attack in Gush Etzion in the West Bank that wounded two Israeli youths.
"We will back the prime minister in any military action that needs to be done, but we must turn the situation on its head,” said the Yamina party member. “We need to move on to a policy of persistent attacks, chasing after the terror leaders. They have to start fearing for their lives.”

The Hamas Movement has condemned Israel’s persistence in targeting resistance posts in the Gaza Strip as “a message of escalation and aggression.”
In press remarks on Saturday, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said that Israel’s renewed aerial attacks on Gaza were aimed to divert attention from what he described as “the acts of courage taking place in the occupied West Bank.”
Barhoum stressed, according to Days of Palestine, that the Palestinian operations in the West Bank messed up Israel’s calculations and deepened its internal crises, adding that the resistance would not allow the Israeli occupation state to export its crises to Gaza.
Israeli warplanes, early this morning, attacked several targets throughout the Gaza Strip, causing damage but no injuries, according to WAFA correspondence.
The targets reportedly included open areas east of Tuffah, a suburb of Gaza City, as well as farms east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
Missiles fired by the warplanes caused big holes in the ground and damage to areas but there were no immediate reports of injuries.
Israel claims the attack came after its Iron Dome missiles intercepted a rocket fired from Gaza into southern Israel.
