Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday vowed to "change the Middle East" in Israel's war with Hamas, as the army pounded the Gaza Strip with air strikes.
"What Hamas will experience will be difficult and terrible... we are going to change the Middle East," Netanyahu told officials visiting Jerusalem from the country's south, where Hamas militants carried out a surprise attack on Saturday morning, reports AFP.
"This is only the beginning... we are all with you and we will defeat them (Hamas) with force, enormous force."
Hamas group stormed towns and communities in southern Israel at dawn on Saturday under the cover of a barrage of rocket fire, in the deadliest attack on the country in decades.
More than 1,000 people were killed from the both sides in the fighting.
