Israel Seeks "New Rules" to Stop Gaza Missiles
(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan - Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Tuesday that he is "not satisfied" with Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar's call for a halt to rocket attacks on Israel. "Hamas committed an unforgivable act, and we have to dictate new rules for the game," Mofaz told Army Radio. "We will not let this pass quietly. Hamas needs to know that Israel will act to protect its citizens." "We don't relate to Hamas mutterings and are judging everything according to reality on the ground," said Deputy Defense Minister Ze'ev Boim. "We will hit Hamas and other organizations in Gaza and not just once so they understand that the rules of the game have changed." Boim told Army Radio that the continuing IDF strikes were aimed at "searing into their conscience" that Israel was determined to create deterrence.
