'The organization is going to pay for its aggression. It is literally holding us hostage with its rockets,' Lerner said. 'The country is not willing for this situation to continue.'
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called from the West Bank on the international community and the United Nations to 'provide international protection for our people.' He said in a televised statement late Tuesday that Hamas leaders in Gaza want to restore calm.
'I have been in contact with the regional and international parties in the last few days, particularly Hamas leaders in Gaza, and everyone I've talked to expressed his willingness to restore the truce and stop the escalation,' Abbas said. He called the Israeli offensive on Gaza an 'orchestrated and brutal aggression.'
Air raid sirens were sounded across Israel last night as the country's armed forces stepped up their offensive in the Gaza Strip. A series of explosions hit Jerusalem as apparent rocket attacks were carried out by Hamas which has seen its territory in Gaza pounded by airstrikes throughout the day.
On Tuesday night the group said it had launched rocket attacks against three Israeli cities - Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa - but authorities said there had been no casualties. Israeli officials said a rocket had landed in Hadera,100km (60 miles) from Gaza - further into the country than had previously been reached - and threatened to invade if the attacks did not stop.
Its military have called the massive display of force in the air Operation Protective Edge, and are calling up reservists for a potential land invasion of parts of the Gaza Strip, a senior officer said. Up to 40,000 would be called into active duty, while tanks are being moved to the border with Gaza.
