Two other rockets launched from Marjayoun fall inside Lebanese territory, explosions heard on northern Israel border raise concern.
Good article. Accurate in my opinion. Israel achieved success in Pillar of Defense.
INTERESTING ARTICLE:
Though Israel had put plans for a ground operation in Gaza on hold Tuesday, one invasion had taken place in Operation Pillar of Defense: the IDF took over Hamas television and radio broadcasts, replacing the regular broadcasts with special bulletins aimed at Gaza residents. The army is closely monitoring developments in Gaza, IDF officials say Hamas is shocked by level of destruction in the Strip, warn of "days of rage" to come as a result; IDF arrests 55 terror suspects in W. Bank overnight.
Gaza’s terrorist rulers mark the ceasefire by firing 20 rockets in three hours at southern Israel.
Ravasi, who is one of the most popular Catholic cardinals and the director of the Church’s policy on culture, called Israelis baby-killers in a shameless form of anti-Semitism which subtly accuses the Jewish State of trying to murder the new Jesus, symbolized by the Palestinian people.
Netanyahu added: "I realize that there are citizens who expect and even harsher military operation and we may need (to launch such an operation), but at this time the right thing to do for the State of Israel is to exhaust this opportunity for a lasting ceasefire.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the press conference that all the goals that were set for Operation Pillar of Defense have been met. "Hamas and the (Islamic) Jihad received a painful blow," he said. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman also took part in the press conference and said that he believes the Gaza operation "was managed in a coordinated manner," adding that "everyone who saw what went down knows that we did an excellent job. All other claims are fairytales." This is a city that is about 1 1/2 hours away from us. The town is Metulla. It is in the extreme NE, bordered by Lebanon and Syria. The IDF thinks it might have been a Katyusha rocket.
After eight days of fierce fighting, Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr says ceasefire between Israel, Hamas will go into effect at 9 pm Wednesday. Obama calls Netanyahu, lauds him for agreeing to truce. PM: More forceful action if it fails.
