Sharon refuses IDF request to wind up Jabalya operation

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is withholding his approval to wrap up the military operation in the northern Gaza Strip, despite the Israel Defense Forces' recommendation to withdraw.

The operation, called Days of Penitence, will therefore continue, despite the mounting criticism in the General Staff and Southern Command.
