Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in Sderot on Monday with municipality leaders from the Gaza Belt whereupon he said that Israel was "in the midst of a process" to "subdue terror from Gaza."
"It is important for Hamas to understand that it is facing a steel wall, and this wall is composed primarily of a determined government, a strong local leadership and Zionist settlement, which we will continue to strengthen, and most certainly the IDF," Netanyahu said.
"I believe in our combined strength to repel, deter and to eventually defeat this terror from Gaza."
