A Message to the Palestinians
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Israel's success at apprehending PFLP leader Ahmed Saadat sent a threefold message to the Palestinians. First, said Head of Central Command Maj.-Gen. Yair Naveh, it showed that "the blood of an Israeli minister will not be forfeited and the perpetrators will be hunted down." Second, the Jericho operation served as a declaration to Hamas that Israel would not be prevented from operating inside PA-controlled cities. Finally, according to officials, it served as a warning to Hamas leaders that if - after forming a government - they engaged in terror activity, they would not be immune to targeted interceptions or Jericho-like operations.
