Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman warned Sunday that war with Hamas in Gaza was drawing ever closer.

Speaking at the beginning of the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday, Netanyahu said that “Hamas has yet to get the message that if it fails to stop its aggression it will be halted through other means and it will be painful, very painful.”

Netanyahu’s comments came after mass protests on Friday, during which several Palestinians breached the border fence and attacked an IDF position. Five Palestinians were killed in the incident and two more were killed during the violent protest along the border fence.

“We are very close to taking the kind of action that will include very painful strikes. If Hamas has any sense it will stop,” Netanyahu added.

‘Hamas is Responsible for Everything that is Happening’

Liberman was even more forceful warning that war with Gaza had become “inevitable.”

Liberman told the Hebrew language Ynet website that “We have reached the moment – we must strike Hamas with the hardest blow. We have made every effort and exhausted every possibility… War is inevitable.”

“Hamas has turned violence on the fence into a strategic weapon by which they hope to erode our ability to withstand and deter,” he told Ynet. “We have reached the moment that we have to strike the hardest blow possible on Hamas, but…the cabinet will have to decide.”

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan also weighted in on the issue in an interview with Israel Radio, saying that: “Hamas is responsible for everything that is happening. If, in the coming days, we do not reach an understanding and quiet does not resume [on the Gaza border], there is a considerable probability of a major campaign.”

Nearly seven months of continued violence along the Gaza border have daily incendiary arson attacks that have destroyed thousands of acres of land in southern Israel and caused millions of shekels worth of damages.

Violent weekly mass demonstrations along the border have seen Palestinian breach the border fence on several occasions, attack Israeli military positions and vandalize security infrastructures.

Some 200 Palestinians have been killed, while one Israeli soldier was killed by sniper fire.

我们已经到了这一刻 – 我们必须以最严重的打击打击哈马斯……战争是不可避免的，“利伯曼说。

总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡和国防部长阿维格多·利伯曼周日警告说，与加沙的哈马斯的战争越来越近了。

内塔尼亚胡星期天在每周内阁会议开始时说，“哈马斯尚未得到的信息是，如果它不能阻止其侵略，它将通过其他方式停止，这将是痛苦的，非常痛苦。”

内塔尼亚胡的言论是在星期五的大规模抗议活动之后发生的，在此期间，几名巴勒斯坦人突破了边界围栏并袭击了以色列国防军的阵地。事件中有五名巴勒斯坦人丧生，另有两名巴勒斯坦人在边境围栏的暴力抗议活动中丧生。

“我们非常接近采取包括非常痛苦的罢工在内的那种行动。如果哈马斯有任何意义，它将停止，“内塔尼亚胡补充道。

‘哈马斯对所发生的一切都负有责任’

利比里曼更加强有力地警告说，与加沙的战争已经“不可避免”。

利伯曼告诉希伯来语Ynet网站说：“我们已经到了这一刻 – 我们必须以最严重的打击打击哈马斯。我们已尽一切努力并竭尽全力……战争是不可避免的。“

“哈马斯已经将围栏上的暴力变成了一种战略武器，他们希望这种武器能够削弱我们抵抗和威慑的能力，”他告诉Ynet。 “我们已经到了必须对哈马斯进行最严厉打击的那一刻，但……内阁将不得不作出决定。”

公安部长吉拉德·埃尔丹在接受以色列电台采访时也对这个问题进行了加权，他说：“哈马斯应对所发生的一切负责。如果在未来的日子里，我们没有达成谅解，并且[在加沙边境]没有恢复安静，那么很有可能发生重大运动。“

加沙边境持续发生近七个月的暴力活动，每天都发生煽动性纵火袭击，摧毁了以色列南部数千英亩的土地，并造成数百万谢克尔的损失。

边境地区每周发生大规模的群众示威活动，巴勒斯坦人多次突破边界围栏，攻击以色列的军事阵地并破坏安全基础设施。

大约200名巴勒斯坦人被杀，一名以色列士兵被狙击手射杀。
