He said:
“This morning we send a clear message to all our enemies on all fronts: whoever plans to target us in the daytime will never be safe for the night to pass”.
Despite the continuation of bloodshed and rise in Palestinian deaths, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Wednesday that Israel is not looking to escalate the deadly violence.
"We need every terrorist and every aspiring terrorist to know that his days are numbered," stated Israel's Defense Minister Naftali Bennett. https://t.co/d32dl66zaO

“We are very determined, and we are determined to defend our country,” Netanyahu said. “If they believe these rockets will weaken us, they are wrong. They have one option: to stop or take more and more strikes.”
Tensions escalated between Gaza and Israel after Israel’s military killed a commander of Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad in a strike on his home in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
