Jerusalem (AFP) – Israel’s Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman warned Friday of a “much tougher” response against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas if it fires more rockets from the Gaza Strip.

“If Hamas continues to fire rockets then Israel will respond in a much tougher way than they (the Hamas leadership) think,” Lieberman said in a statement after a spike of violence around Gaza.
