- [Chris] At Sunday'sweekly cabinet meeting
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu
warned both Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
- [Translator] I wantto make it very clear,
we will not accept anyaggression from Gaza.
Just a few weeks ago we killed
the Islamic Jihad seniorcommander in Gaza,
and I suggest Islamic Jihad and Hamas
refresh their own memory.
I will not go into thedetails of activities
and all our plans in the media,
but we are ready todeliver crushing action
against the terroristorganizations in Gaza.

by President Trump, Islamic Jihad
and Hamas vowed resistanceand retaliation.
- [Translator 2] When thePalestinian people fear
the great danger that thePalestinian cause is facing
because of the deal of the century
and because of the American positions,
its natural and rightful
of the Palestinian people
to send Confrontation messages
to the whole world
that they are fullyprepared to do anything
to fight for their rights,
to fight for the future of their children.
And the future of next generations
of Palestinians on this land.
- Since the announcementof Trump's peace plan,
over a dozen rockets and mortars
have been fired into Southern Israel.
And that's not all.
They're sending explosive devices
attached to balloons that can travel up
to 25 miles from Gaza.
They post a threat to civilians,
especially children,
who might see these balloons as a toy
and not understand the danger.
Israel Defense Minister Naftali Bennett
met with Israel's southern command
and promised no one would be immune
from Israel's Defense Forces.
