Israel: "No Possible Justification" for Palestinian Rocket Attacks
[New York Times] Greg Myre - Israel describes Palestinian rocket attacks as terrorism and argues that any rationale for firing the rockets evaporated when the government withdrew its soldiers and settlers from Gaza last summer. "We left Gaza," Brig.-Gen. Ido Nehushtan said. "There can be no possible justification for launching these rockets, and we cannot tolerate a situation where they are being fired at our citizens every day." The Palestinians have not yet fired any rockets from the West Bank - a development that would cause even greater alarm in Israel because they could be launched within a few miles of several main cities.
