Israel PM threatens to seize parts of Gaza

JERUSALEM — Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to seize parts of Gaza if Hamas does not release hostages, while the militant group warned they would return "in coffins" if Israel did not stop bombing the Palestinian territory.

Just over a week since its military resumed operations following a truce in January, Israel said two projectiles were fired from the Gaza Strip, with one intercepted and the other landing near the border. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The firing of rockets came as anti-war protests were held in the Gaza Strip for a second day, with demonstrators chanting slogans against Hamas and calling for an end to the conflict.
