Tuesday, the Israeli Occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the military operation in the Gaza Strip requires time, calling for "patience and steadfastness."

"We are working in coordination with the security services and will continue to attack the military sites in Gaza," Netanyahu added in a press conference after Tel Aviv was hit by the heaviest missile strikes in its history.

He added that "Gaza militants" will pay a ‘very heavy price’ over the airstrikes.

“We are at the height of a weighty campaign,” Netanyahu said in the presence of his defence minister and military chief.

“Hamas and Islamic Jihad paid … and will pay a very heavy price for their belligerence … their blood is forfeit.”

Three Israeli Occupation settlers have been killed since the beginning of the military escalation in Gaza with the Palestinian factions' missiles, and dozens have been wounded.

Earlier Tuesday, Hamas announced it will be retaliating after the Israeli Occupation conducted an airstrike in Gaza, which caused a residential building to collapse.

The retaliation included a 130-missile airstrike on Tel Aviv.

Israeli Occupation aggression since Monday, has claimed the lives of 29 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including 10 children and one woman.
