Israel has warned the Gazans that it will not stand by and allow Israelis to be shot from Gaza without reprisal. On Tuesday a civilian, a Bedouin Israeli, was shot and killed near the Gaza border fence by sniper fire.
The IAF retaliated by hitting a base west of Khan Younis. As Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, "This is an extremely serious incident and we will not stand idly by. Our policy up until now has been to thwart and retaliate with force. That's what they are doing.
The Defense Minister in Israel said, "If there is no peace in Israel, there will be no peace in Gaza.
"The Palestinian Authority continues to instigate against the State of Israel and its citizens and is not encouraging a culture of peace, so Israel feels that they are forced to deal with terror attacks." mentioned Ya'alon. It's an intolerable situation for Israel who has had to deal with attacks in southern Israel since 2001. The people in Gaza, the Hamas terrorists, have not accepted any thoughts of peace and it's high time they did.
Such action from Gaza encourages other acts of violence in Israel. On Sunday a bus driver near Tel Aviv was alerted by a passenger that a large black knapsack was sitting in the bus unattended. The passenger opened it to find a bomb in it whereupon the driver had the passengers disembark from the bus. A sapper attempted to defuse the bomb then but it blew up. A policeman was slightly injured in the blast. This was a terrorist act.
Another 41 year old police officer on the security force was stabbed literally in the back by a long knife wielding Palestinian as a terrorist attack in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Adam. The attacker fled to a nearby Palestinian neighborhood. This happened the day after the bus attack.
And so, the state of Israel on this 24th of December must always be aware, at least in this era, of attacks on its population that can come at any time so long as the Arabs are withholding any measure of peace for all men and no good will towards any Israeli.
