Over 60 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel in the last two months alone

The IDF does not seek an escalation in the region. However, the IDF is prepared to defend the residents of Israel and will respond with strength and determination against any attempt to execute terrorist attacks. Since the beginning of the weekend, 20 rockets have been fired from into Israel from Gaza.

Hamas uses other terror organizations to carry out terror attacks against the State of Israel and will bear the consequences of these actions in any future operation embarked upon by the IDF in order to eliminate the terror threat and restore the relative calm to the area.
