I spoke to the heads of the defense establishment and once again reiterated the order that there is no restriction on our operations to stop the attacks on the communities inside Gaza and along the border with Gaza. We don't intend in any way to allow this situation.
The goal of the operation that we are conducting now is to uproot the terrorist activity within the areas that are under control of the Palestinian Authority,
We have decided to suspend the offensive operations that we launched last week in response to rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel ,
I would like to congratulate the security forces on the successful operation that they carried out last night,
