Security Establishment Considers Targeting Hamas Officials
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Senior security officials on Thursday said that the security establishment is considering targeting senior Hamas officials, in light of the support given by Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin to the suicide bombing at the Erez crossing in Gaza on Wednesday, in which four Israelis were killed. The Erez industrial zone will stay closed until an alternative site is found for security checks to replace the building destroyed in Wednesday's bombing. Senior Southern Command officers believe there is no alternative to beefing up searches at the crossings. They expressed concern that terror groups might seek to capitalize on what they view as a success and attempt additional attacks in the area.
