“Israeli” PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said the “Israeli” military may launch a full-scale offensive on Gaza in response to missile strikes into its territory, which intensified on Monday, prompting massive retaliatory fire from “Israel”.

Netanyahu, who was supposed to speak at the American “Israel” Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference on Tuesday, wrapped up his visit to Washington early due to the reports of rockets being launched from the besieged Gaza into the “Israeli” entity.

As he was boarding a plane back to the entity on Monday, the “Israeli” primer made a thinly-veiled threat to stage a full-fledged invasion of Gaza.

“We gave a very, very strong response, and Hamas needs to know that we will not hesitate to enter and do all the necessary steps,” he said.

Seven people were reportedly injured as one of the rockets hit a home north of Tel Aviv on Monday morning.

The “Israeli” entity has mounted retaliatory strikes on what it claimed were elements of Hamas infrastructure within Gaza. The “Israel” Occupation Forces [IOF] said it destroyed the office of the group’s leader Ismail Haniyeh, as well as an alleged military intelligence headquarters and internal security service offices.

The parties have continued to exchange fire through the day and, as night fell, the flare-up showed no signs of subsiding.

The IOF said Monday evening that the Palestinian revolutionaries showered the southern part of the “Israeli” entity with “dozens of rockets.”

According to the IOF spokesman, Palestinian revolutionaries launched some 30 rockets into the entity after 10 pm, just as a ceasefire brokered by Egypt was supposed to go into effect. Some of the projectiles reportedly fell into open areas. No casualties have been reported.

Further into the night, the “Israeli” military said it had engaged a further 15 targets in northern Gaza, which it described as compounds belonging to various resistance groups, including Islamic Jihad revolutionaries in the town of Beit Lahia, Haaretz reported.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian media reported “Israeli” strikes targeted “several” residential areas, setting a mosque on fire in the town of Beit Hanoun.

The spike in violence has reignited fears of a new, large-scale Gaza war looming in the region less than two weeks before the “Israeli” general elections.

Military spokeswoman Maj. Mika Lifshitz said on Monday that the “Israeli” entity would move two armored and infantry brigades to the Gaza front and was calling up reserve soldiers.
