Ya'alon: Gaza operation 'very successful' so far
The main threats to IDF troops operating in northern Gaza are Palestinian sniper and antitank rocket fire, an IDF officer told The Jerusalem Post, as Operation Days of Repentance entered its fifth day on Sunday.It's difficult decision: Repent or swallow a 120mm shell  Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon said the majority of the casualties were terrorists; Palestinians report that over 70 Palestinians have been killed and 250 wounded since the operation began. Ya'alon deemed the offensive, which aims to eliminate Kassam rocket and other attacks on Israel, a success, noting it could continue for a number of weeks.250 wounded: Hey, Regis can I get a life line. However, the IDF operation is generating harsh criticism from abroad. How can I hate the Joos and remain politically correct? Hmmm In a statement, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan called on Israel to halt its military operations in the Gaza Strip, "which have led to the deaths of scores of Palestinians, among them many civilians, including children." Annan also urged the Palestinian Authority "to take action to halt the firing of rockets against Israeli targets." Oh! snap. A fair and balanced Kofi Anus Posted by: Poison Reverse 2004-10-04 |
