The prime minister went on to say that Hamas had suffered a devastating blow to its weapons stores. "During Operation Pillar of Defense, most of the rockets aimed at central Israel, and thousands of rockets aimed at southern Israel, were destroyed. The moment the operation achieved its stated objectives there was no reason to keep it going. We decided when to launch it, and we controlled how it ended. If the calm persists, it will beget calm. If it is violated, we will respond harshly." During a visit to a military base in central Israel on Sunday, Gantz was asked about Hamas rearming itself, to which he replied: "Growing military power is not a new problem in the Middle East. We will make every effort to sabotage this trend."
