IDF: Gaza Operation May Improve Security in the South

(Israel Hayom) Lilach Shoval - "Operation Protective Edge will lead to fundamental changes to the situation in the south," a senior IDF officer said Sunday. "The arrangement won't be like those reached after previous operations [in Gaza]. This one will put an end to the reality that southern communities have lived in from 2005 to 2014." "The task of keeping Hamas from rearming is possible, because that involves just Israel and Egypt." "They want to arm themselves, and we assume they will dig tunnels. The security situation in Gaza is now better than it was, as the tunnels have been destroyed, at least the ones we know about. I believe the security for the residents of the border area will be much better in the near future."
