Hamas leaders issued a blunt warning to Israel against invading the Gaza strip yesterday by promising to that it would exploit any ground incursion to kidnap the Israeli soldiers .
The threat came as benjamin Netanyahu , the Israeli prime minister , pondered sending thousands of troops into tiny coastal enclave after days of aerial and naval bombardment in which , according to united nations 100 people have been killed.
About 33,000 Israeli reservists are mobilised near the Gaza frontier with tanks and artillery for invasion order which will signal for even bloodier phase of conflict .
Navi pillay, the UN's high commissioner of human rights , criticised Israeli's practise of targeting houses used by known militants, saying it contravened international law. Mr Netanyahu issue a stern riposte saying that international condemnation would not stop Israel from striking the terrorist who attack Israel. He added that Israel had hit more than 1000 targets since Tuesday after launching major offencive to deplete Hamas military strength and preparing for ground attack and all preparations is under consideration. Fawzeh Barhoom , a hamas spokesman said that such move will lead to kidnapping israeli soldiers which they will use as bait to free their detainees as they did it in past, he said referring to 2006 kidnapping of Gilad shalit, Israeli soldier who was held in Gaza for five years before his release in 2011 in exchange for more than 1000 Palestine prisoners.
The kidnap threat came from Ihab al-Ghussain , Gaza's deputy information minister and a member of hamas member , who called it "a normal response" to Israeli's actions.
"Israel started this , so i will do whatever i can to stop them even if it means kidnapping Israelis. you still believe in peace process which didn't help our people in Israel prisons. The only way is to kidnap Israelis and use them as bait.
The purpose of kidnapping was to touch the nerve's of Israel's leaders.Last month , three Israel teenagers were found dead in the west bank - a crime Israel blames hamas, which neither confirmed or denied the accusation.
Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and prevent further escalation seemed to be failing on stony ground, despite an offer by U.S president Barack Obama to help to mediate a ceasefire.while Mahmoud abbas , the Palestinian authority leader , urged the UN to negotiate a truce , Egypt- which was being asked to mediate, having helped to broker a ceasefire that ended an earlier conflict -accused both sides of being "stubborn".
Israeli air strikes killed a further 11 people in Gaza yesterday,including five members of the same family in the southern town of rafah who died when their house was struck by a missile. Latest causalities brought the number of killed to 103 including 23 children .There was little sign yesterday of that goal having been achieved as missiles continued to hit Israeli towns and cities. One struck a petrol station in ashdod, 20 miles from Gaza, injuring 8 people.Some 53 missiles landed in Israel after midnight on Thursday , while another 18 were stopped anti missile defence, Israeli army said.
