"Hamas only understands force," Ayalon said, adding that "Israel knows how to make the group understand that there is a heavy price for terrorism."

"We all [stand] with the residents of the South," he added.
Ayalon also called on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to retract the comparison between Israel's defensive actions with Hamas' terrorism. He demanded that Ban clearly condemn only Hamas.
