PM says leaders of the terror group should refresh their memories regarding Islamic Jihad commander assassination, while the defense minister claims 'no one is immune' and Israel would have to take a 'different kind of action' if the attacks from Gaza don't cease
Both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday issued a thinly-veiled threat against Hamas, warning Israel might have to resort to targeted killings if the terror group continues to launch attacks on Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip.
Tensions on the southern border have risen over the past several weeks, with militants in the Hamas-controlled enclave sporadically firing rockets launching explosives attached to balloons at Israeli cities and towns.
Netanyahu kicked off the weekly cabinet meeting by warning Hamas that its leaders might face the same fate as the military leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Baha Abu Al Atta, killed in an Israeli raid three months ago.
“Only a few weeks ago, we targeted the senior Islamic Jihad commander in Gaza, and I suggest that both Islamic Jihad and Hamas should refresh their memories,” said the prime minister. “I will not go into detail about all of our plans in front of the media, but we are prepared to take devastating action against the terrorist organizations in Gaza.”
Bennett, meanwhile, toured the IDF’s Gaza Division and met with high-profile military officials. He also went on to imply that Israel will go back to targeted killings if the attacks originating in Gaza won’t cease.
“No one is immune,” said Bennett. “The lawless conduct of Hamas leaders is bringing us closer to taking a decisive action against them. We won’t reveal when or where it will happen, but the action we would take will be very different from any previous ones,” he added.
"The State of Israel does not want a war with Hamas, but we have a commitment to the residents of the south.”
The exchanges of fire between the militants in Gaza and the Israeli military have become a near-daily occurrence. On Saturday evening a rocket from Gaza landed in a nearby Israeli community with a rocket alert siren being sounded prior.
The army responded by striking a series of Hamas targets in the enclave.

Three Palestinian fishermen suffered injuries on Tuesday when Israeli naval forces attacked them off the shores of the besieged Gaza Strip.
According to the Fishermen Committees in Gaza, Israeli gunboats circled the fishing boat of Yaser al-Lahham during its presence within six nautical miles from the coast of Rafah area, south of Gaza, before spraying the boat with jets of water from cannons.
The naval occupation forces prevented the fishermen aboard the fishing boat from pulling up their net and tried to swamp the vessel with water, but luckily nearby fishermen intervened and used their boats to tow it away after its outboard motor stopped working when it was hit by jets of water from a gunboat.
The owner of the fishing boat, Yaser al-Lahham, was injured and two others suffered multiple bruises in the water cannon attack.
In addition to the damage which the boat and its motor sustained in the attack, the fishermen lost their net.
Israeli naval forces and their gunboats are around Gaza fishermen almost every day, harassing them, shooting at them, damaging their boats, and making arrests. Sometimes fishermen are injured or killed during gunfire attacks.
Under the 1993 Oslo accords, Palestinian fishermen are permitted to fish up to 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, but since then Israel has kept reducing the fishing area gradually to a limit between six to three nautical miles as part of its blockade on Gaza.
Fishermen and human rights groups also say that since the 2008-09 war in Gaza, the Israeli army has been regularly enforcing a limit even closer to the shore.
