Israel To Strike Back
In response to Monday's deadly bombing at Netanya's HaSharon Mall, Israel's security establishment held two high-level meetings and decided on a prolonged counter-terror operation.
In preparation for the operation, the IDF will deploy troops in northern Samaria. The security establishment will also renew targeted killings of terror leaders. A general closure has been placed on Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, effective Tuesday night.
The IDF will also impose a curfew, effective Tuesday night, on Judea, Samaria and Gaza, banning Arabs from entering Israel's pre-1967 borders. The closure is far from complete, however, as the three Gaza crossings will remain fully operational - most probably due to commitments made to the US by Israel. Permits for 500 Christian worshippers to enter Jerusalem during the Christian holidays also remain valid.
In addition, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, after consulting with IDF and intelligence officials, said he would ask Attorney General Menachem Mazuz to allow the IDF to resume destroying the homes of suicide-bombers.
