he Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet internal security service are preparing to step up assassinations against key Hamas figures in the Gaza Strip in response to the continued Qassam rocket attacks against Sderot. The renewed campaign of targeted killings is not likely, at this stage, to include members of the Hamas political leadership.
During a meeting on security developments Sunday, and at the weekly cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that Israel needs to continue its preparations for a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip, but there is no point in rushing into one.
Olmert was steadfast against pressure from cabinet ministers to change Israel's response to the Qassam attacks from the Gaza Strip. Advertisement "There are many operations against the Qassam attacks, but there is no way to put an absolute end to the terrorism in a single blow or a single air attack," Olmert later told reporters on his plane, on his way to a visit to Germany.
"Even after Defensive Shield [the operation against militants in the West Bank in 2002] terrorism continued and it took a long time to curtail it," Olmert added.
During the cabinet meeting, Olmert answered calls for retaliation for the injury of two brothers in Sderot by saying that "rage is not a plan."
Many ministers were critical of the situation in Sderot and the other communities bordering the Gaza Strip.
Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit was vociferous in his demands for action. "We are trying to talk in English to a population that only understands Arabic," he said, suggesting that the gloves need to come off.

Sometimes rage is called for. Olmert wouldn't know a good plan if it bit him in the a$$.

Makes no sense to attack the military wing and ignore the political leadership. It is another head of the hydra.
What about the breeding vessels?
The only way to stop these attacks is to make the cost too high to continue them. Send bigger rockets back to where these came from. For every suicide/homicide bomber, wipe out their family and others will think twice about doing the same.
“What about the breeding vessels?”
The what?
You mean pre-emptively kill the women who would give birth to children who would, maybe, become Hamas members?
I’m not sure what you mean or what point you are trying to make here.
No I wouldn’t support that, but to the Hamas leaders, that’s all women are.

That announcement should cause some spastic anal sphincter constrictions amongst the “brave Jihadists”....
Surgical amputations... pretty smart..
The guy certainly has a way with words... Translation: It's a mistake to abide by civilized Western norms, guided by rational thought, when you're dealing with members of a barbaric, savage death cult who can not be dissuaded by mere words from murdering you and your family and millions of others...
True, and sad.
/s!
Better late than never.
A couple of cities might bring peace, but a couple of people?
Guaranteed to keep the war going, and the Fat cats fat at the top.
Idiotic as usual. 100 Palestinians dead for every Jew dead is the only way to end the problem for good. They will give up when Israel makes them lose all hope via brutal force.

Now what make you think those kinder and gentler folks would do a thing like that. Why, that would be a most unChristian thing to do.
