Abbas Orders Forces to Block Rocket Attacks; IDF: No Activity Yet
(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular, Aluf Benn and Amos Harel - PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas issued orders for Palestinian security services in Gaza to deploy in the area from which rockets and mortars are launched at Israeli targets. However, as of Monday night, the IDF had not spotted any activity indicating that the Palestinian security forces are moving into new positions. The army is preparing a wide-scale operation into the three main areas from which rockets are launched - Khan Yunis, Jabalya, and Beit Lahia-Beit Hanun - if the Palestinians do not take action. Israeli government sources are doubtful that Abbas will manage to deploy PA forces in all these areas.
