ISRAELI PM SAYS ISRAEL WILL RETALIATE AGAINST ANY THREAT – The Israeli military said its troops were attacked by terrorist militants in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will continue to retaliate against any attempt to harm its troops in Gaza and threatened to continue action against Hamas.
Speaking at the start of his cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu added that any Israeli action in Gaza is reported to Washington. Hamas, in its statement, said the United States was not doing enough to keep Israel in line with the ceasefire agreement.
The Israeli military said on Saturday that its troops were attacked by militants in areas of Gaza where its forces are still deployed as part of the U.S.-backed ceasefire agreement.
Israel and Hamas traded blame for daily violations of a tenuous truce that has largely halted two years of devastating war.
The Israeli military said its aircraft struck a militant posing a threat to its forces. Three Israeli soldiers have been killed by Palestinian gunmen in this time, according to the military, which says its strikes have targeted dozens of Gaza militants.
