Chief of Staff: Gaza Is Not Lebanon
(Yediot Ahronot-Hebrew) Hanan Greenberg - During a visit Thursday to the site of Wednesday's fatal attack on an IDF armored personnel carrier in the Philadelphia Corridor in southern Gaza, Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon said: "Gaza is not Lebanon....As long as there is a terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza Strip that threatens the surrounding areas - we will act." "It is clear to us that on the Egyptian side there are considerable quantities of high-quality weaponry that the Palestinians are trying to bring in. We will continue to operate in the corridor to prevent this." "It is clear to me that we need to continue to fight here in every way, we have no choice." "The threat here is not just against the Jewish settlements in Gaza, but also against Sderot and Ashkelon [in southern Israel]."
