Israeli general tells 'human animals' of Gaza: 'You will get hell'

An Israeli military general has doubled down on his defence minister's labelling of Palestinians as "human animals" and vowed to give them "hell".

Ghassan Alian, the Israeli military liaison to the Palestinians, suggested that the civilian population of Gaza were at fault for allegedly "celebrating" possible crimes that were committed by Palestinian fighters in the Saturday attack. 

“Human animals must be treated as such," he said in a video statement. 

"There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell."
