Sharon: We Will Retaliate If Kassams Continue

(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told the cabinet Sunday, "We will not accept a situation where we will be shelled, and...not respond with a similar action." He said this position also needs to be made clear to the U.S. and the EU. At the meeting, Shin Bet head Avi Dichter was asked how the disengagement will impact upon Israel's ability to enter Gaza and assert a presence in areas from which rockets are fired. "Just as we have to enter Gaza today after Kassam firings, we will have to do the same thing after disengagement," he said. Sharon also discussed the High Court of Justice's ruling on the security fence, saying he was "satisfied" that the court ruled the fence is indeed a security fence that grew out of genuine security needs, and not in order to annex Palestinian territory. He also said the court made it clear that the fence need not adhere strictly to the "green line."
