 Several Israeli right wing leaders called for a full invasion into the Gaza Strip, especially after eight soldiers were wounded by Palestinian homemade shells. A Likud member of the Knesset called for establishing an open air prison in the Negev area in order to imprison Hamas and Islamic Jihad members to use them as human shields against Qassam shells.
Eight Israeli soldiers were wounded after Palestinian fighters struck the Nahal Oz military base with several homemade shells. Two of the soldiers are in serious conditions. Palestinian armed groups said that the shelling was in retaliation to the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip, and the ongoing siege which led to the death of hundreds of patients. Likud member of the Knesset, Gilad Ardan, said that Israel must establish an open air, unprotected detention camp in the western Negev in order to use the Palestinian detainees who would be confined in it as human shields against Qassam and mortar shells. Ardan added that using Hamas and Islamic Jihad detainees as human shields would deter the Palestinian armed groups from firing homemade shells at adjacent areas. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, called for “alternate means of response” against the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip. Likud member of the Knesset, Yuval Steinitz, accused the government of Israel's Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, of causing the deterioration of the security situation in the south. Steinitz added that the government's lack of serious response and its lack of action are worse that its misconduct during the second Lebanon war. Israeli Deputy Security Minister, Matan Vilnai, said that he has no doubt that Israel is approaching a large-scaled military offensive against the Gaza Strip, and added that this time Israel should act differently and choose the right time for the offensive.
