After the expiration of the cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian factions, IDF chief Gabi Ashkenazi said that the current reality is unacceptable. Speaking to Army Radio on Monday morning, he said, "It's impossible to accept a reality where Gaza-belt residents are getting wounded. Hamas is responsible for this, and we will deal with them." Israeli army chief warns over Gaza "The IDF is prepared for every possible operation that could be required in the Gaza Strip… I present the different options to the political echelons, and we'll do what we're ordered to do," he went on. Ashkenazi also commented on Hamas's weaponry, saying, "Hamas is always trying to improve the range and quality of its missiles… [Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Yuval Diskin's comments on Sunday] didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. We're regularly keeping track of the type and quality of Hamas's weapons." Diskin had told the cabinet Sunday that the terror group now has weapons with the ability to reach "Kiryat Gat, Ashdod and the outskirts of Beersheba." Throughout Sunday, 19 rockets fired from the Strip hit the western Negev, as well as at least three mortar shells. One person was lightly wounded in the barrage, and a rocket scored a direct hit on a Sderot house, causing extensive damage. Another rocket struck near Ashkelon. The Israel Air Force continued targeting Kassam rocket launchers in Gaza in response to the attacks. Palestinian sources reported late Sunday night that four Palestinians, including a child, were lightly-to-moderately injured in an IAF strike west of Gaza City. The IDF confirmed that IAF helicopters had targeted at a rocket launch squad. Earlier Sunday, IAF aircraft scored direct hits on two Kassam launchers that had been prepped to fire. According to Palestinians, another IAF another strike on Sunday afternoon injured a woman near Gaza City, but the IDF denied this attack.
