Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that militants in the Gaza Strip will "pay a very heavy price," after a day of Gaza rocket fire and Israeli airstrikes on the Palestinian coastal enclave.
"We are at the height of a weighty campaign," Netanyahu said in televised remarks alongside Defense Minister Benny Gantz and IDF chief Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi. "Hamas and Islamic Jihad paid ... and will pay a very heavy price for their belligerence ... their blood is forfeit."
