Five days after a rocket from the Gaza Strip hit a house in Beersheba, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) promised a serious Israeli response at the start of a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

“Wars are only conducted when there is no choice, and now there is no choice,” the defense minister said on Monday. “Anything less than the toughest response won’t help anymore. We have exhausted the other options.”

The security cabinet met Wednesday night to consider possible reactions to the rocket attack. Its decision was not publicized, so Liberman’s statement could be the first indication of possible steps ahead by the IDF. Liberman said Hamas was behind recent violence from the Gaza Strip and pays large sums to protesters.

“There is no popular uprising,” Liberman said. “There is violence organized by Hamas. Fifteen thousand people don’t come by foot to the border at their own will. They come by bus and are paid.” Liberman said Hamas “control the levels of the flames,” but Israel can take steps to maintain its deterrence. “I don’t believe in reaching an arrangement with Hamas,” he said. “It hasn’t worked, doesn’t work and won’t work in the future.”
