JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel warned on Wednesday of further violent retaliation for the killing of a soldier by Gaza militants, an Israeli security source said.

“Israel will respond very severely,” the source said. The Israeli air force carried out strikes during the night but “we haven’t seen it all.”

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was quoted as telling senior officials on Tuesday evening that Israel’s response would be “severe and disproportionate.”

Oh hell yeah.
