On Tuesday, Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Galant warned about the actions of Hamas, stating that "the rules of the game have changed" after a series of severe strikes in the Gaza sector, which are considered the strongest since the onset of the ceasefire in January... "We will show Hamas a new and harsh blow that they did not expect," Galant told journalists in response to the rocket fire from southern Israel organized by a group controlling activities in the Gaza sector.
Political analyst and military expert Tal Plavnik asserts that the Israeli government is trying to send a signal to Hamas, offering a "new reality" in response to provocations by Palestinians.
"Israel is ready to act harshly and with maximum caution in the interests of its security," Plavnik noted.
