 Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, stressed on Tuesday that his government will soon take some necessary actions to handle the situation in the Gaza Strip, while his intelligence service chief, Amos Gil'ad, accused Hamas of attempting to breach border lines.
Israeli media sources reported that Olmert is considering a new security and economic plan for the town of Sderot and other Israeli settlement populations, located near the Gaza Strip. Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza involving Hamas , continue to fire homemade shells into Sderot and other nearby Israeli towns, within what they call ' a natural reaction to the Israeli occupation attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank'.

In a report, presented to Israeli cabinet on Tuesday, Gil'ad said " Hamas is planning to breach border lines between Gaza and Israel and is set to carry out a series of attacks including sniping and abducting Israeli soldiers". On Wednesday, the Israeli inner security cabinet is due to hold discussions over such reports, Israeli media sources said.

Israel placed Gaza under a strict siege since June2007, when the Islamist democratically-elected party of Hamas took over the coastal region amidst factional infighting with the secular Fatah party of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. |
