(Jerusalem Post) Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon told Israel TV Channel 2 on Monday, "Arafat has no interest in bringing this struggle to an end. He initiated it to avoid a political solution. His strategy of bringing about demographic change is one of terror." "The anarchy is not chaotic," he said. "It is organized by him." Ya'alon said Hamas's "operational capabilities have been hurt thanks to our attacks on them. Now they think twice whether they want to undertake attacks inside Israel. They haven't done this for several months. This is due to our attacks on their infrastructure and their leaders." "We only attack ticking bombs....There used to be more ticking bombs, so we had more bombs to target."
