(Ynet News) Roi Nahmias - The upcoming withdrawal from Gaza would not take place under fire, as all Palestinian terror groups, aside from marginal factions, are committed to ensuring the pullout is completed quietly, a senior IDF intelligence official said Tuesday. "There are groups, such as those who were behind Sunday's shooting attack north of Jerusalem, which are not committed to a peaceful pullout, so it cannot be guaranteed, but all the major players understand this is what the public wants," the official said. "No group will want to be depicted as being responsible for delaying the pullout." "Hamas believes that following the pullout the Palestinian public will be disappointed in such a way that will renew the support for the organization and the resumption of the armed resistance," the official said.
