IDF Chief: Gaza Operation Unavoidable
[Ynet News] Roee Nahmias - The current situation in Gaza cannot continue, and ongoing Kassam rocket attacks on Israel may force the IDF to launch a large-scale operation there, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi said Wednesday at a conference hosted by the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. "You cannot defeat a terror organization without eventually taking control of the territory," he said. "The only reason we have been successful in Judea and Samaria is because we control the area." While the current limited army operations in Gaza impair the capabilities of terror organizations, they would never completely curb all attacks against Israel.
