Israeli 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 air strikes on the Palestinian coastal enclave, APA reports quoting Reuters.
"We are at the height of a weighty campaign," Netanyahu said in televised remarks alongside his defence minister and military chief. "Hamas and Islamic Jihad paid ... and will pay a very heavy price for their belligerence ... their blood is forfeit."
