GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Palestinian resistance factions on Tuesday warned Israel not to invade the Gaza Strip, as an Israeli military commander spoke about the possibility of another war on the coastal enclave.
A senior Israeli commander told the Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv on Tuesday that a large-scale military operation into Gaza was "inevitable" due to continued rocket fire into Israel.
The commander said Israel's only option to stop rockets was to launch another military offensive similar to Operation Cast Lead, Israel's 3-week war on Gaza launched in Dec. 2008 that killed around 1,500 Palestinians and destroyed thousands of homes.
Abu Ahmad, a spokesman of Islamic Jihad's military wing, warned Israel against another war.
"It seems the [Israeli] occupation has misinterpreted the resistance' quietness, but the Zionists should be aware that we can trouble them and terrify them every time and in every place," the Al-Quds Brigades spokesman said in a statement. Meanwhile Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said the resistance was ready to respond to any Israeli military action in Gaza. more
