CAESAREA, Israel - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel is ready to act with "great force" against militant attacks, a day after the Israeli military launched retaliatory strikes in Gaza.
Israel had been "subjected to bouts of terror and rocket attacks", Netanyahu said, following a spate of rocket fire on southern Israel from Gaza and a bombing in Jerusalem that killed one and wounded more than 30 people.
"We stand ready to act with great force and great determination to put a stop to it," Netanyahu told reporters before a meeting with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
