IDF "Reshaping the Rules of the Game" in Gaza
(Ynet News) Efrat Weiss - Head of IDF Operations Maj.-Gen. Yisrael Ziv warned Wednesday that if Palestinians continued to fire rockets at Israel, "The IDF will clear all Kassam launchers from Beit Hanoun [in northern Gaza]. We will allow no movement, and monitor the area, including firing....If the terrorists choose to fire from inside the houses, we will warn the residents, and if necessary will remove them from there." "We are now in the midst of a process of reshaping the rules of the game," Ziv said. "The objective of the operation is to send a message through that the rules of the game have changed in the wake of the disengagement...the unbearable ease in which rockets are being fired into Israel, under the assumption that Israel will restrain its response, is ungrounded." "Under the new rules, rocket launchings or attacks on Israel from any place in the Strip are forbidden. As long as the children of Sderot cannot sleep, no one will sleep in Gaza."
