Concerns of people who live in the Gaza Strip are mounting following the Israeli threats to carry out another large-scale war against the enclave similar to last winter’s “Cast Lead” operation.
Khamis Abu Hasira, a 24-year-old Gaza resident, expressed his fear that Israel would soon initiate another destructive war against Gaza, adding “people here are following the news on the radios and televisions all the time and living in a hysteric status due to the Israeli threats.”
“I expect another war would occur in any moment, because last winter’s war was preceded by similar Israeli threats and similar escalation,” he told Xinhua, referring to Israeli air and ground strikes in the last couple of weeks which killed at least 12 people.
