Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Monday to "change the Middle East" in Israel's war with Palestinian militant group Hamas, as the army pounded the Gaza Strip with air strikes.
"What Hamas will experience will be difficult and terrible; we are already in the campaign and we are just getting started....we are going to change the Middle East," Netanyahu told officials visiting Jerusalem from the country's south, where Hamas militants carried out a surprise attack on Saturday morning.
"This is only the beginning... we are all with you and we will defeat them with force, enormous force." In response to Israel's strikes on Gaza, Hamas' armed wing said on Monday it will begin executing an Israeli civilian captive in return for any new Israeli bombing of civilian houses without pre-warning.
"Every targeting of our people without warning will be met with the execution of one of the civilian hostages," the Ezzedine al-Qassem Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said in a statement. "The enemy doesn't understand the language of humanity and ethics, so we'll address them in the language that they understand."
