Netanyahu Pledges 'More and More Blows' in Clash With Palestinian Militants

VOA News

   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that while
   Israel does not want escalation in the latest clashes with Palestinian
   militants in the Gaza Strip, it will "respond to every attack."

   Speaking at the start of a Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said Islamic
   Jihad has the choice to either "stop these attacks or take more and
   more blows."

   Israeli forces carried out airstrikes Wednesday in Gaza, while
   militants there fired fresh barrages of rockets into Israel.
