Israel Planned Gaza Attacks While Negotiating Cease Fire 6 Months Ago
Israel’s leading journal, Harretz has reported how the Israeli government planned the current offensive against the Gaza strip over six months ago while in the process of negotiation the cease fire it now accuses the Hamas led government of breaking.
The paper quotes sources in the Israeli defense establishment as saying that Ehud Barak instructed the IDF to prepare for the attacks months ago in order to surprise Hamas and maximize casualties.
The attack remained a plan until a month ago when the IDF entered Gaza despite the cease fire and killed 6 Hamas members in an operation to shut down a tunnel they claimed would be used to kidnap soldiers provoking retaliatory rocket fire.
