[Ynet] Former head of the Shin Bet, Avi Dichter said that Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, was trying to provoke Israel into conflict, but said that should Israel chose to fight the group it would take it more than a year to root out terror from the Gazoo Strip.
"Hamas is trying to push into another rough of rocket exchanges, and our mission is to destroy their terror and military infrastructure.
"This is a long operation, which can take a year or more, and we should time it carefully according to military needs and political conditions. We must act from our brain, not our gut." |
