Netanyahu: Hamas will 'pay heavy price' for death of Israeli child

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened a harsh retaliation for rocket fire that killed an Israeli child in the Sdot Negev regional council on Friday.

"Hamas will pay a heavy price for this attack," Netanyahu's spokesman Ofir Gendelman cited the premier as saying on his Twitter account, adding that the Israeli army and Shin Bet internal security service would "intensify ops against Hamas until the goal of Protective Edge is achieved".
