JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that at least 4,000 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel since May 10.

"The Palestinians fired about 4,000 rockets from Gaza at Israel in the Israeli military operation which began 10 days ago," Netanyahu told a news conference in the presence of more than 70 foreign ambassadors and diplomats, mainly from the US, EU, UK, Russia, Germany, India, Austria, Australia, Japan, Canada, and others, launched Yenisafak.

Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli army aims to take precautions against attacks by Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip. In fact, Israel may carry out ground operations.

"There is a possibility of ground operations to conquer them. There is no time frame for ending the military offensive in Gaza", said Netanyahu.

To note, the Israeli conflict with Palestine recently started in East Jerusalem during the Holy Month of Ramadan, spreading to Gaza as a result of Israeli attacks on worshipers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

At least 221 Palestinians have been killed, including 63 children and 36 women, and another 1,530 were injured in Israeli attacks across the blockaded territory since May 10, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

Meanwhile, from the Israeli side, it was said that twelve people were killed in Palestinian rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
