Root Canal Against Islamic Jihad

(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn - Members of the defense establishment said the army would be performing "root canal against Islamic Jihad" in the territories following Wednesday's suicide bombing in Hadera, in which five people were killed. Prime Minister Sharon and Defense Minister Mofaz have ordered a policy of deterrence without crushing the PA, along with responding to rocket and mortar attacks. In any case, the PA is insignificant, and its role in the current conflict is limited to issuing condemnations. In discussions with the Palestinians on operating the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, Israel wants to prevent the entry of terror suspects and insists on the presence of European inspectors at the crossing, along with cameras. The PA has agreed only to European "instructors" and is only prepared to transfer footage from the crossing once a day, without a direct broadcast to the Shin Bet.
