(Maarivenglish.com) Israeli Air Force helicopter gunships attacked buildings in Gaza used by Hamas to manufacture arms and Kassam rockets. Palestinian sources reported that the helicopters fired at least 10 missiles at three different targets. The IDF estimates that the Palestinians would try to perpetrate more attacks to prove that the Israeli Army is "running away" from the Gaza Strip. According to defense officials, Israel must withdraw only after a series of operations in Gaza take place, so that the Palestinians understand that the withdrawal "is being preformed from a position of strength and not weakness."
