Olmert: We must continue Gaza ops
Operation Hot Winter was not a "one-off," said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the Knesset Monday. "Everything is possible, aerial and ground raids, special operations and other operations - everything is up for discussion. What we do, how we do it, and the extent to which we attack, all of it will be felt by Hamas," Olmert said at the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. "We will not be revealing what we are considering, or when, because we don't want to give our enemies the chance to prepare." Olmert has come under attack from the diplomatic community, coalition and opposition legislators, for his handling of the ongoing rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. IDF forces withdrew from Gaza on Monday, ending a three-day offensive that left more than 100 Palestinians dead. Hamas officials declared a victory, and continued to launch rockets into Gaza-periphery communities and Ashkelon. Posted by: Fred 2008-03-04 |
