Israel PM's strong remarks: ‘Our response to Hamas will change Middle East'

Israel's response to the unprecedented surprise attack by Hamas from the Gaza Strip will "change the Middle East," the country's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said while speaking to mayors of southern border towns hit by the assault that began on Saturday.

This comes as more than 700 people have been killed in Israel, officials said while Tel Aviv has retaliated with repeated strikes on Gaza, where at least 560 have been killed according to health officials.
