Israeli tanks destroy Gaza workshops
2002-05-26
Four Israeli tanks entered the Palestinian-controlled city of Gaza early Friday and destroyed three small industrial workshops that an Israeli military spokesman said manufactured Qassam rockets. The incursion occurred hours after a suicide bomber in a car attacked a Tel Aviv nightclub early Friday, injuring one person. Troops also arrested five Palestinians suspected of involvement in terror acts in the towns of Dura and Itbaka south of Hebron, in Zatra southeast of Bethlehem, and in the Qalandiyah refugee camp south of Ramallah, an Israel Defense Forces spokesman said.
The tactic appears to be slap and counterslap. The Israelis can't let a single one go by, and they've got to make it cost the lemmings Palestinians more than it costs them. If they back off, it'll be perceived as a lack of resolution by the Bad Guys...
