(IsraelNN.com) IDF Southern District Commander Major-General Dan Harel reports the counter-terrorism offensive in the Beit Lahiya area of northern Gaza was a success. A large IDF force escorted by armored vehicles was compelled to enter the PA autonomous area in an effort to bring an end to increasing rocket attacks against Jewish communities.

Harel reported 14 armed gunmen were hit during the operation. The PA is reporting the same number of fatalities.

Harel stated that while the operation is not likely to totally eliminate future rocket attacks, but it does send “a clear message to terror organizations that the IDF will operate anywhere required”.

Well, one consideration might be the small risk that the
2004 US elections might put a French kisser in the White
House.

Israel needs to strike while the US is generally demurring
on, if not openly supporting, their anti-terror offensive.
