Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military on Monday to cut fuel transfers to
Gaza in half in response to rocket attacks from the coastal strip, raising tensions along Israel's southern border in addition to a renewed threat from the north amid reported
Israeli strikes on Iranian targets in
Syria,
Iraq and Lebanon.
Israel said the blast was a Palestinian attack.
The flurry of activity comes amid a massive manhunt by Israeli troops for the 17-year-old's killers and dire warnings from Lebanon's Hezbollah leader of an imminent attack, just weeks before an unprecedented repeat Israeli election.
