Politically beleaguered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed late Monday to “restore security” to his country...


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in political difficulty, promised Monday evening to “

restore security

” in his country by acting “

on all fronts

”, after a new outbreak of violence in the Middle East.

We will not allow the terrorist Hamas to establish itself in Lebanon

,” Netanyahu added at a press conference in Tel Aviv, after the Israeli army accused the Palestinian Islamist movement of being behind of the launch of dozens of rockets into northern Israel on Thursday.

These rocket attacks, which injured one person and caused material damage, occurred the day after the brutal irruption of the Israeli police, in the middle of Ramadan, in the third holiest site of Islam, the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem- East, annexed by Israel.

Terrorists 'will be held to account'

Israel said law enforcement was '

forced to act to restore order

' in the face of '

extremists

' barricaded in the mosque with rocks and firework rockets which were used against the protesters. police during their assault.

This violence on the esplanade of the Mosques of Jerusalem occurred in a climate of inexorable rise in violence between Israelis and Palestinians since the beginning of the year, after the inauguration of Benyamin Netanyahu at the end of December at the head of one of the governments right-wingers in Israel's history.

Since the beginning of the year, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has cost the lives of at least 94 Palestinians, 19 Israelis, a Ukrainian and an Italian, according to a count made from official Israeli and Palestinian sources.

I promise you, we will reach out to all the vile terrorists who have killed our citizens and they will be held to account without exception

,” Netanyahu said after the death of two young Israeli women and their mother in a Palestinian bombing in the occupied West Bank.

We are still in the midst of the fight, we are ready for other strong actions on all fronts if necessary

,” added the Prime Minister.

The Minister of Defense “remains at his post”

Netanyahu also sent a message of firmness to Syria, where Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes since the beginning of the civil war there in 2011, ostensibly not to allow the Islamic Republic of Iran, Netanyahu's pet peeve , to establish a bridgehead there.

Israel again carried out strikes there overnight from Saturday to Sunday, in response to rocket fire towards the part of the Golan annexed by Israel after its conquest of Syria in 1967. “In Syria, we acted

against Iranian targets and Syrian regime targets.

The regime of [Syrian President Bashar al-] Assad already knows that the price we have taken is only the beginning: if it continues to allow the firing of rockets into Israel, the Assad regime will pay a price very heavy

Very low in several polls which give the winning opposition in the event of an election today, Netanyahu also announced that he had reversed his decision announced in March, but never implemented, to dismiss his Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, who had urged the government to pause its justice reform project.

This project sparked one of the biggest protest movements in Israel's history.

There have been differences between us, even difficult skirmishes on certain topics, but I have decided to put these differences behind us, Gallant remains in his post and we will continue to work together for the safety of the citizens of Israel.

Netanyahu assured.
