Israel approves targeted killings to counter Gaza fire

[oberliner]

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel's security cabinet on Sunday approved more targeted killing operations against suspected Palestinian militants to combat near daily rocket attacks from the
Gaza Strip, a minister said.

"It was decided there will be more liquidation fire against terrorists and I think this will limit the damage (on Israel from the rocket attacks)," National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer told army radio.

"For several hours the security cabinet discussed the very complex security situation in the Gaza Strip and its implications in Egypt's Sinai and in the West Bank," Welfare Minister Yitzhak Herzog told Israel's Channel One television.

"We devoted considerable attention and a number of analyses during this discussion... The cabinet will be attentive about stopping rocket fire from this territory and weapons smuggling from Sinai," he said.
