(ETH) – After a barrage of rockets has reportedly been fired on Israel, Israel’s Defence Force has officially declared a “rocket alert” warning. The IDF has confirmed that over 20 rockets had been fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip and intercepting up to 10 rockets by the Iron Dome defense system.
The IDF has responded by targeted sites in Syria and Gaza. This latest conflict comes on the heels of the recent warning the Benjamin Netanyahu recently gave threatening Hamas terrorists with “the surprise of their lives” if they don’t put a stop to the recent stream of rockets coming out of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu went on to further say:
“I’m telling you as prime minister, I don’t rush to war,” Netanyahu said during an interview with Israel’s Channel 20. “I don’t puff out my chest, bang drums and blow trumpets. But we’re preparing for Hamas the surprise of their lives. I won’t say what it is, but it will be different from anything that came before.”
