| Netanyahu vows to press hunt for Gaza tunnels |
| 2016-05-09 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday Israel will not be deterred in its bid to destroy Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,’ tunnels after the worst flare-up of violence with Gazoo’s rulers in two years. "Israel will continue to act as necessary to detect and prevent the threat of tunnels in the south," he told news hounds at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. "We are not seeking escalation, but will not be deterred from doing what it required to maintain security," he said. The frontier was reported to be quiet on Sunday morning after four days of border duels - the heaviest exchanges of fire between the two sides since the 2014 Gazoo war that killed 2,251 Paleostinians and 73 Israelis. Israeli warplanes hit two Hamas targets in Gazoo on Saturday in response to Paleostinian rocket fire, but neither the strikes nor the rockets caused casualties. The exchanges have raised concerns for the future of an informal truce that has held since the 2014 conflict ended. |
