New Delhi: Israel has vowed to spare no effort to teach Hamas a lesson after the Palestinian fundamentalist, militant organisation launched an unprecedented surprise attack from Gaza Strip two days ago.
A day after Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared war on Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country’s response to Hamas attack will “change the Middle East.”
Speaking to mayors of southern border towns hit by the rocket attacks, the Israeli PM warned Gaza civilians to leave all Hamas sites which he vowed to turn “to rubble.”

After IDF claimed to have regained control of border communities taken by Hamas, Israeli Defense minister Yoav Gallant said that he has ordered a “complete siege” on Gaza whereby electricity will be cut and entry of food and fuel to the territory blocked.
In just over two days since Hamas launched ground, air and sea attacks on Israel, 1,300 people have lost their lives – over 800 Israelis and around 500 Palestinians.
Tensions in the Middle East further escalated as Iran and Hezbollah praised the Hamas attack, while rejecting any role role in the military operation.
