Israel Warns Hamas over Upsurge in Rocket Fire from Gaza
(Reuters) Crispian Balmer - A senior Israeli military official blamed a recent upsurge in rocket fire out of Gaza on militant groups backed by Iran. "Both sides understand that we will not return to the days prior to the 2012 operation....We won't go back to a situation where three or four times a week the red alert alarm sounds in southern Israeli towns." He speculated that the groups were receiving thousands of dollars from Iran for every successful missile launched. "However, Hamas has proven its ability to prevent terror attacks out of Gaza, so we can demand that they act like a ruler and maintain order."
