Israel Gives Abbas Time to Act on Terror


(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel and Aluf Benn - Israel is refraining from carrying out a widespread military operation in the Gaza Strip in order to give Abbas a limited amount of time to stop the rocket and mortar fire coming from Gaza. At the same time, the IDF is preparing for the possibility of a widespread operation that would include capturing a "security strip" in Palestinian towns in an attempt to improve security for the Katif settlement bloc in Gaza and for Sderot.

All they need to do is deploy forces, and the fire will diminish immediately."
