(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Terrorists will still be able to attack Israel even after the West Bank security fence has been completed, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday. Ya'alon said the IDF is working on advanced technology to target Palestinian Kassam rockets. He said the army has succeeded in stopping production of Kassams throughout the West Bank but that the Palestinians are still manufacturing rockets and mortars in the Gaza Strip that can be launched over the fence. "The IDF is acting under the assumption that terrorists will attempt to bypass the fence, either from above or below," Ya'alon said.
