Ramallah : Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak threatened to escalate military operations in the Gaza Strip if missiles continued to be launched from there at southern Israel.
Barak, speaking while on tour of a military base in southern Israel, said the Jewish state would be taking measures for such an escalation, which would coincide with fortifying settlements in the West Bank to protect them from missiles.
For the past three days, Israel has been waging continuous air raids on Gaza Strip, killing dozens of Palestinians.
