| 2003-01-24 |
| Jerusalem Post Online Staff Jan. 24, 2003 A joint crew of the IDF and Border Police was bombing bridges linking the Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun and the city of Gaza Friday evening, in retaliation for Palestinians' launching of three Kassem-type rockets into the southern Israeli town of Sderot earlier Friday. Tit for tat violence - Paleos are indiscriminate rocketing of civilians, IDF targets structures = moral equivalence? An IDF crew had earlier entered the town, deploying along the area out of which Palestinians earlier fired the rockets . Three explosive devices went off along the crew's path, but no one was hurt dumbasses. According to Israel Radio, IDF sources say the IDF intends to stay inside Beit Hanoun until further notice. Sniper and communications nests permanently set upDefense Minister Shaul Mofaz earlier said the government had decided on a series of maneuvers set to "rock" the area out of which the rockets were fired. Following a meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Friday noon, Mofaz talked to reporters, saying the operations will mainly target the Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Tanzim organizations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank town of Hebron, and is set to "destroy the infrastructure of their terrorist activities." Visiting a house in Sderot damaged Friday by a Kassem launch, Mofaz was asked by one reporter what was the exact meaning of "rocking" the Gaza Strip, Mofaz replied: "I assume you'll be hearing about it."
