The missile attack “and the volume of fire in general towards Israel is an escalation and there will be a price to pay,” Barak said on Channel 2 television today.
Israel Army Spokesman Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai told the same channel that the military was calling up 30,000 reservists hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military was ready for a “substantial expansion” to stop rocket attacks.
Israel yesterday began a military operation termed Pillar of Defense against militants in the Gaza Strip. At least 13 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military strikes, including the leader of the Hamas military wing, and three Israelis died in one of 200 rocket attacks launched from Gaza in the past 24 hours.
