Israel Prime Minister vows more attacks

Jerusalem: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to ramp up an Israeli campaign against Gaza militants that has so far cost 43 Palestinian lives.

"We have decided to further intensify the attacks on Hamas and the terror organisations in Gaza," his office quoted him as saying. "The army is prepared for any eventuality," he added. "Hamas will pay a heavy price for the firing of rockets at Israeli civilians. Security for the citizens of Israel is first and foremost." Mr Netanyahu said.
