Sharon: Gaza Terrorists Have Anti-Aircraft Missile Launchers
(Ha'aretz) Gideon Alon and Aluf Benn - Gaza terrorist organizations now have shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft missiles, and there are mounting concerns that they will shoot down Israeli aircraft near the Strip, Prime Minister Sharon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Monday. Israel has warned that if any Israeli aircraft is damaged in the area, Israel will respond harshly. Sharon also said the evacuation of Gaza settlements will go ahead according to plan, but not under fire. "We have passed on to the Palestinians severe warnings through the U.S. and EU that we will not allow shooting during the evacuation," he said.
