Senior ministers on Thursday vowed that Israel would issue a "strong" response after a rocket fired by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip killed a migrant worker in the south earlier in the day.
Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai declared Hamas responsible for the rocket that hit Moshav Nativ Ha'asara, even though it was not launched by militants from the ruling movement.
Deputy Premier Silvan Shalon vowed that "the the Israeli response will be appropriate. It will be strong," adding: "This is a crossing of the red line, which Israel cannot accept.
It was the first deadly rocket attack since Israel offensive on the Gaza Strip last winter.
This was the third rocket fired from the Gaza Strip in less than 24 hours, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Britain, the United Nations secretary general and the European Union foreign policy chief were quick on Thursday to condemn the attack.
The EU's top diplomat, Lady Catherine Ashton, had crossed into Gaza Strip from Israel just an hour before militants in the Hamas-ruled territory launched the rocket.
At a Gaza news conference after the attack, Ashton said: "I condemn any kind of violence, we have got to find a peaceful solution to the issues and problems."
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also expressed his condemnation, saying in a statement: "All such acts of terror and violence against civilians are totally unacceptable and contrary to international law."
More than 100 rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israel since Operation Cast Lead ended in January 2009, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Carpet bomb Gaza until the attacks stop.
This is the Bibi Ping List.
The ‘Obama Intifada’ has begun in earnest now.
As long as one of the parties insist on exterminating the other party and driving them in to the sea , then this will never come to pass
The Obama Administration is more concerned with Israelis building apartments than it is with Palestinians firing rockets at them.
Look for a long hot spring and summer.
“Britain, the United Nations secretary general and the European Union foreign policy chief were quick on Thursday to condemn the attack.”
What is missing from this statement? Hint, Israel’s number one friend?
Israel may very well use this provocation to strike back hard and deflect attention from Hillary and Barry’s non-stop bashing.
Very sad that it has come to this, but when the country elects a naive, arrogant, narcissist, the world will become less safe, not more.
Yep.
Well stated.
Until its the Russians invading Georgia...
Good. Pound Gaza and change the subject from Obama jihad against Israel.
Prayers for Israel.
Sadness reflected in the eyes of Bibi....
PING
He'd be alive today if Hussein Obama & Co. hadn't thrown a hissy fit.
DON’T RESPOND! JAW-JAW BETTER THAN WAR-WAR!!!~!~!~!
