OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to use greater deadly force than the latest attacks on Gaza civilians if necessary.
Netanyahu made his remarks on Sunday ignoring the fact that his army was the first that started last Monday to escalate its aerial and artillery deadly attacks, not to mention the ongoing daily Israeli violations on Gaza borderline and against its fishermen.
He stressed that his army responded with armed force against those who tried to harm Israel’s citizens and would use deadlier force against them if required.
He added that Israel’s policy allows the use of lethal force to defend its people in the southern area (the illegal settlements there).
News reports stated that an unwritten agreement for calm between Israel and the Palestinian resistance in Gaza was reached under the auspices of Egypt.
This was the second truce within a few days Egypt managed to broker between the two sides in an attempt to prevent any further Israeli escalation against Gaza people.
Israel’s deadly attacks on Gaza since last Monday have claimed the lives of 16 Palestinians including four children and led to the injury of 70 others, mostly civilians from women and children.
