Netanyahu: “attacks will continue until destruction of tunnels ”

Neither undeclared truce or calm by calm, not a day over humanitarian pause… Israel ‘s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday has left the language of the last days and returned to the charge, the defense turned the offensive against Gaza. In a televised appearance in the country, has argued that “there is no more justified this war “, ignoring his qualms these days to use the damn word, war. He confirmed that his army is ready for an even longer – operation and takes 21 days, and that ” will not stop ” to achieve its primary purpose: “neutralizing tunnels ” militia. It is the first phase of the total demilitarization of the Gaza claiming Israel.

Netanyahu acknowledged that ” patience ” is needed to address ” the battle against the terrorists.” No word on negotiations in Egypt. Yes there was a message to the international community, which demanded that instead of demanding more supplies to Gaza, he asked to be left “inspect ” all for the use to which it is put. His brief and blunt as usual speech had a message of encouragement to the people. “We knew difficult days to come,” he said.

The prime minister spoke little over an hour after four Israelis should die by mortar fire two kilometers from the border with Gaza. Six people were injured, at least two in critical condition. No alarm system for a mortar, hence afanasen victims not to seek shelter. It is the second attack of this nature so far from offensive. It occurred in the open, at a point where a crowd focused. It is unclear whether it was curious of which are clustered in the area trying to see the crossfire or relatives who had gone to soldiers, contrary to orders not to.

Just a tunnel, as Peter Lerner, spokesman of the Army, agreed yesterday afternoon to Israel several Hamas militants. Five were ” killed ” and an unknown number escaped. Several wounded soldiers. It happened in the southern Kibbutz of Nahal Oz. Sirens were heard by rockets again beyond Tel Aviv, Hadera and Caesarea, 125 kilometers from Gaza. This distance is not reached before the start of the ground invasion.

Fever in Gaza also is spreading to the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Yesterday, 45,000 Palestinians were concentrated around the Temple Mount, on the first day of Eid, after the end of Ramadan. Were faithful way of prayer which also carried Palestinian flags in – vetoed by the city authorities and Israeli – shirts with slogans of support for Hamas, something not common in the city. Her screams were mourning the dead of Gaza, but also encourage the muqawama, resistance. The crowd was breaking up without incident.
