On Saturday, Israel’s opposition leader Tzipi Livni said the escalation in mortar fire called for a new military campaign against the coastal enclave.
« The right way to deal with it is with force, just like Israel did during and after Operation Cast Lead, » news website Ynet quoted her as telling local authority heads in the border region.
Israeli forces killed more than 1,400 Palestinians during the December 2008- January 2009 offensive, more than half of whom were women and children. Thirteen Israelis, 10 of them soldiers, were killed in the 22-day attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel would use « all necessary means to protect its citizens » in a statement from his office.
In January, Gaza’s main militant factions confirmed a year-old truce after weeks of increased rocket fire and spiraling tensions along the border prompted a warning from Arab leaders that Gaza was risking a major new Israeli invasion.
