Israel's Security Cabinet Meets on Palestinian Missile Assault
[Prime Minister's Office] The Security Cabinet convened Sunday to discuss the missile assault against Sderot and other communities in the area around Gaza. It was decided to allow the security establishment to step up operational measures designed to reduce missile fire and strike at the terrorist infrastructure behind the firing. At this stage, operational activity will focus on Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets since these organizations are responsible for the current escalation. The military steps will be accompanied by diplomatic and information efforts in the international community in order to explain Israel's actions. ()
