| 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.

"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."
