Security Services Head: If We Leave the Philadelphia Corridor, Southern Israel Will Become Like Southern Lebanon
(Yediot Ahronot-Hebrew) Ilan Marciano - The withdrawal of IDF control from the Philadelphia Corridor separating Gaza from Egypt "will bring southern Lebanon to southern Israel," General Security Services head Avi Dichter told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tuesday. Dichter emphasized that arms smuggling was continuing all the time, and that recently five shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft missiles had been smuggled into Gaza. Relating to the upcoming PA elections, Dichter said he does not foresee dramatic changes by the other side with regard to the war on terror, and that the PA "was and remains a sanctuary for terrorists."
