Israeli Cabinet: Gaza Operation Will Not End Until Palestinian Rocket Fire Stops
[Ynet News] Roni Sofer - Israel's National Security Cabinet ordered the Gaza offensive to continue until Palestinian rocket fire stops. "Israel did not launch the Gaza offensive only to end it while rockets are still fired at us," Prime Minister Olmert said Wednesday. "Can you imagine ending the operation unilaterally after a few days only to have a rocket barrage hit Ashkelon?" "Israel has been restraining itself for years. We gave the cease-fire a fair chance and we did it knowing there would be a price; we did it so the residents of the south could have some sort of a normal life, free of Color Red alerts every few minutes. We were willing to give it a try but Hamas kept violating the truce."
