Jerusalem, Aug 25: Israel will continue its policy of targeted assassinations and other offensive operations in the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip, a security source said today. A meeting of senior military officials late yesterday decided to continue, or even intensify the strikes, the source said.
During the meeting, Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz said that the Palestinian Authority "still refuses to fight terrorism", and that measures it had taken against armed militants were just for show.
Israeli helicopters gunships late yesterday killed four Palestinians, including two militants of the radical group Hamas, in the first such attack since the formal breakdown of a ceasefire two days ago. Bureau Report
