Buffer Zone Planned to Distance Rockets from Israeli Cities
(Jerusalem Post) Israel's security cabinet approved a deeper military incursion into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, following the rocket attack on Ashkelon Tuesday night. The IDF has been given the green light to enter residential areas, but will not reoccupy the Gaza Strip, an official at the meeting said. A buffer zone will be created in the northern part of Gaza. Former deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh said there was "no escape from prolonged ground presence at the launch sites." He said, "If you want to tell your citizens: I did the maximum, then this is the maximum."
