Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he will use “any means necessary” to stop Islamic militant group Hamas from bombing civilians, but declined to say when his military action will stop or whether he will continue using ground troops.
Netanyahu said on “Fox News Sunday” that his objective was to reach “sustained quiet” and that he’ll continue “until it’s achieved.
”The prime minister spoke as Israeli ground troops moved into the Gaza Strip early Sunday for the first time in the increasing bloody battle with Palestinians, sparked by the recent killings of three Israeli teens, then the apparent revenge killing of an Arab Palestinian youth.
The troop movement also has prompted concerns about whether the Gaza attack, the first such since 2009, will result in a full-scale ground war.
The week-long dispute until Sunday has been limited to Hamas rocket attacks and Israeli rocket and airstrikes that have killed an estimated 160 Palestinians, in a decades-long battle between both sides in Israel.
Israel has launched more than 1,300 airstrikes since the offensive began, military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said Sunday.
Palestinian militants have launched more than 800 rockets at Israel, including 130 in the last 24 hours, the Israeli military said Sunday.
Several Israelis have been wounded, but there have been no fatalities.
“We cannot accept that and will take the necessary action to stop it,” said Netanyahu, who declined to get into specifics. “We’ll do what any country would do."
He also apologized for the civilian casualties, but blamed Hamas for trying to use residents as human shields.

Just so everyone is aware.
‘Terrifying’: Jewish synagogue attacked, besieged by protesters in Paris; ‘Hundreds trapped’ [pics, video]
Go get ‘em, Bibi!
Now that power to Gaza has been cut off by Hamas’ own goal, it’s only a matter of time until they stop shooting rockets and announce to the world that evil Israel cut off the power to women and children.
You GO Bubba ! Decapitate authority and quash the insurrection !
Thanks. Yes, Europe, including the U.K. (from its other face) has been bleeding for the enemy and demanding “proportional” Israeli casualties for a very long time. Hideous. They were sneaky Nazi colluders before, and they’re Nazi colluders now. They only see defense reason, when they’re attacked by the enemy, and only for their own concern. Europe is filthy rotten, and our own U.S.A. is becoming more European in political nature each year.
The more Palestinian RATS killed the better.
The Israeli’s have decided it’s time for decisive action. Right now, the Iron Dome is working and Hamas is on the defensive. It will be interesting to see what Netanyahu’s objective is. He was on Fox this morning and wasn’t saying much, except how much the Hamas turds need killing.
They’re Muslims. Look at the photo behind the following link. They’re most likely Algerians and associates from Africa by way of Italy. France finally closed its border to the Italian herding of African Muslims across it sometime within the last year or so.

Where is the Palestinian Authority in all this? Powerless against Hamas, or working together with them?
They have the right leader for the time.
I know this isn’t relevant but look at how hideous the Arab women are in those photos. No wonder Arab men want them all covered up and consider them not much better than goats.
Isn’t Hamas the ones who control the Palestinian Authority?
AMEN BIBI!!! Israel has to do whatever necessary to destroy those rockets NOW..every time this happens Hamas just gets more rockets and nothing changes..what Israel has to do is destroy the entire lot..and not give them any chance to rebuild their supply..Israel should also not give a crap what the UN or anyone else says..take care of their own business and destroy Hamas once and for all
And puppies and kitties - don’t ever forget the puppies and kitties.
I don’t know. Probably none of those people have any capacity for independent thought (much like our democrats) but I thought the PA was separate from Hamax.
When your immigration policy lets anyone and everyone in this is the result.
Democrats you seeing this?
