Netanyahu says ordered large-scale attack on militants in Gaza
Tel Aviv, May 5 (Sputnik/UNI) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he had ordered the armed forces to continue "massive attacks" against Palestinian militants, who continue firing rockets from the Gaza Strip.
Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had hit 200 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours in response to 430 rockets fired by Palestinians at Israel.
"This morning I ordered the IDF to continue massive attacks against terrorist elements in the Gaza Strip," Netanyahu said at a government meeting.
The prime minister added he had ordered to reinforce troops deployed to the border with the enclave with additional artillery units, armored and infantry vehicles.
The IDF previously said it was moving an armored brigade to the border in order to use it in offensive operations if it was necessary.
