Local Editor

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened with further assault against Hamas, saying the time has come to "take off the gloves" against the resistance group on Tuesday.

Speaking ahead of military consultations that he was holding with security officials at the Kirya Military Headquarters in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu said, "Hamas chose to escalate the situation and it will pay a heavy price for doing so."

Following the launching of Operation Protective Edge, "Israel" declared a "special situation" in all areas of the South within 40 kilometers of the seized Gaza Strip on Tuesday morning. A special situation is a legal decree that allows various authorities to safeguard public safety through a variety of means reserved for times of conflict.

Moreover,the decision came after Zionist War Minister Moshe Ya'alon completed a security evaluation meeting with the "Home" Front Commander, Maj.-Gen. Eyal Eizenberg, as well as other civil war chiefs, in which they examined the latest developments in the clash in seized Gaza.

Ya'alon said at the end of the meeting that, "We are prepared for a campaign against Hamas, which will not end within days. Hamas is leading the current confrontation to a place in which it seeks to exact a heavy price from our "home" front. There is a need for patience."

He added that it is vital that the "Israeli" "home" front not sustain casualties.
