"It's a continuous operation, and when we'll need to act we will do so," said Barak.
The defense minister spoke during a visit to the Tel Hashomer military base.

There was little violence in the area in the last 24 hours, and Kassam firing had all but stopped, with just one missile hitting an open field in the western Negev on Sunday.
