Shin Bet Chief Warns of Large-Scale Confrontation in Gaza
[Ynet News] Ilan Marciano - Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) chief Yuval Diskin told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Tuesday that "Israel must prepare for a wide military confrontation in the Strip, if moderate sources in the Palestinian Authority do not get stronger." Diskin outlined the Palestinians' efforts to arm and noted that, "The situation in the Strip is not a flashing traffic light but a red, red, red, light. Israel has no good options in Gaza, there are only bad options, and we need to choose the least bad of all." "Although the number of terror attacks this year following the disengagement is smaller, the important thing to look at is the amount of weapons and the significant strengthening of Hamas as a result of the disengagement," he said.
