Sderot man dies of wounds sustained in Kassam attack
Fearing a further escalation in Kassam rocket fire, the defense establishment has begun putting the finishing touches on plans to launch a massive Defensive Shield-like operation into the Gaza Strip.
They're not really doing anything, but they're putting the finishing touches on it. | Doubtful that Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas will succeed in convincing terror factions to accept a cease-fire, defense officials are seriously considering reoccupying the Gaza Strip in an effort to stop Kassam rocket attacks.
"Yep. We're discussing it seriously." | "We are not left with many options," a high-ranking defense official told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.
"It's either that, or do nothing. So far, we're doing nothing." | "What we know can work at stopping the Kassams is a major operation and the reoccupation of the Gaza Strip."
