The Zionist regime has blamed Hamas for the Gaza Strip clashes and said it would settle the score with the group when the time is ripe. "We will settle the score with Hamas which bears sole responsibility for what happened in the Gaza Strip," deputy Israeli war minister Matan Vilnai said on Thursday. He added that Israel would pick the time and the place.
On Wednesday, seven Palestinians as well as two Israelis were killed in a border gun battle in the Gaza Strip. Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees have claimed responsibility for the raid at the Nahal Oz border terminal. Tel Aviv nonetheless insists Hamas is ultimately responsible since it controls Gaza. |
