IAF warns Paleos: "Don't make us come in there..."
Israeli warplanes dropped thousands of flyers over Gaza Strip Saturday demanding people to cut off armed Palestinian factions especially those launching missiles against Israel. The flyers warned that there will be grave consequences, "destruction and devastation", if factions continue to launch missiles at Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip. It read, "The State of Israel has evacuated Gaza Strip and granted you an opportunity to live in peace and to manage your lives by yourselves, hence, until when you will allow terrorism to control your lives?" The Israeli army will carry out countering operations in case the missile attacks continue, it added.
This is not the first time Israeli planes drop such flyers warning the people in Gaza against Palestinian organization's missile attacks. The Israeli Army considers "launching raids inside Gaza City a strong message to the new Palestinian leadership headed by Hamas," an army spokesperson said on the radio. The army will expand its operations in the strip over the next few days on the pretext that "Palestinian security forces are not doing anything to stop terrorism." The Israeli forces will broaden assassination operations against Palestinian activists in an attempt "to increase pressure on Palestinian organizations and Hamas' government," the spokesperson said.
