Peretz: Terror groups will pay dearly
Following a Kassam rocket attack on Sderot in which one person was killed and another seriously wounded, Defense Minister Amir Peretz planned to convene an emergency meeting of security officials on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the incident. "We will take action against anyone involved in Kassam rocket attacks, from the terror chiefs until the last of the terror operatives," Peretz said. "The terror organizations will pay a heavy price."
| Here's a suggestion: Quit rolling your eyes and threatening dire revenge™. That's an Arab thing. Instead, say nothing and beat the living crap out of them with no warning. |
Meanwhile, Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter told Army Radio following the morning's attack that the political echelons must order the IDF to stop the Kassam fire completely and by any means necessary - artillery, aerial, or land attacks - even at the risk of endangering soldiers.
| Soldiers really don't mind being "endangered" when it makes sense. Sending a "signal" doesn't make sense. Leveling a significant portion of Gaza and the bad guyz with it makes sense. |
"The political echelons' instructions to the IDF should have been and still must be an absolute halt to Kassam fire from the Gaza Strip at Israel," Dichter said. "Unfortunately, there is currently no such instruction. The steps taken up to now have not been successful in putting a stop to Kassam fire. The army's activity is not sufficient. A broadening [of operations] is necessary, whether it's a ground operation or an aerial operation or other special operations. Defense forces exist to protect citizens, even at the expense of harm to the defense forces. "The reality we live in today is unthinkable, intolerable," he said.
| One option is to remove the Paleos from Gaza. Or to give it back to Egypt and let them deal with it. Making faces and grimacing isn't a real option. |
