We may have no choice but another land op, minister says
Minister of Public Security Yitzhak Aharonovitch asserts that if rocket fire from the Gaza Strip persists, Israel will have no choice but to order another ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave.
“As soon as the door shuts, and it is clear that negotiations will not yield any results, and we continue to see [the firing of rockets] – we will probably have no choice but to go in [to Gaza],” he says during an interview with Army Radio.
“And then we will need to overpower [Hamas], and not just enter for a short term. It is impossible to escape [this move].”
