IDF spokesman: This is just start of broad Gaza operation

The wave of attacks by Israeli warplanes in the Gaza Strip on Monday evening are just the first stage of what will be a broad operation, the IDF told Ynet.

"We are just at the beginning," Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis said. "A large attack is planned. I think that Hamas understands this is a significant strike (following) a serious incident, and ultimately, this is a price that Hamas has been due to pay for the past year."
