As I have stated in numerous previous Archive Updates since 2000, Israel is going to being in a “forced” peace, whether the Palestinians and their terrorist groups like it or not. In April of 2002, a date to which the following article makes reference, Operation Defensive Shield began. At that time the birth of a “forced” peace plan occurred, which I mentioned as one of the options Israel had in Archive Prophecy Update 1, more than a year before it became a reality.
The fur is going to fly in Israel during the next 24 months but, for better or for worst, for richer or for poorer, through fire and terror, through heck or high water, through the Kassams, mortars, and rockets, through suicide bombings and roadside shootings, Israel is going to finish the security barrier, put the Palestinians inside it in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and bring in a false peace they actually think they can control.

Mofaz to IDF: Prepare for extensive operation in Gaza

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz instructed the IDF on Friday to prepare for an extensive ground operation in the Gaza Strip “in any location deemed necessary,” during an emergency meeting in Tel Aviv with senior security officials.
Tanks and troops were assembling in the northern Gaza Strip border on Friday, standing by for an order to enter Palestinian areas.
Shortly after Mofaz’s meeting, IAF helicopters fired missiles at a group of rocket launches near Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
It remained unknown whether any of the Palestinian crew members were hit.
Earlier Friday at least six Hamas members were killed in IAF strikes after Israel resumed the policy of targeted assassinations in both the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, following a day of Kassam and mortar attacks on Israeli communities in the Gaza Strip and Western Negev.
While Israel has continuously targeted terrorists in the Gaza Strip, the IAF attack in the West Bank is the first in more than six months. Helicopters fired missiles at a vehicle near the West Bank town of Salfit in the Ariel area, killing at least two Hamas members and wounding another.
In the Gaza Strip, the IAF destroyed a van carrying a group of Hamas members and a cache of homemade rockets in a Gaza City street, killing four Hamas gunmen, the army
and Palestinian officials said.
The explosion scattered shards of metal and body parts hundreds of meters away.
The Israeli Defense Force said the airstrike targeted senior Hamas weapons manufacturers on their way to launching more rockets at Israeli targets.
Hamas members said the rocket and mortar attacks were in retaliation for Israeli military operations. Earlier this week, a Palestinian police officer and a Palestinian faction member were killed by IDF fire.
Late Thursday, IAF helicopters struck Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip – in the Jabalya refugee camp near Gaza City, in Deir el-Balah, located in the center of the Gaza Strip, and in Khan Younis, just outside Gush Katif.
The IDF on Thursday divided the Gaza Strip into three security sectors by setting up checkpoints west of Netzarim in the north, and at Gush Katif Juncti
on in the south.
IDF sources said that Hamas’s involvement in the latest barrages showed the “true face” of the organization, and speculated that these barrages, especially when coupled with Tuesday’s deadly suicide bombing, signaled an end to the delicate cease-fire that had been in effect since February.
Politicians and security sources promised that the recent barrages would not go unanswered, and emphasized that the tentative cease-fire was effectively over.
MK Yuval Shteinitz, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said in response to the deadly attack on Netiv Ha’asara that Thursday’s events were simply the tip of the iceberg unless the government does not immediately pursue a “Operation Defensive Shield 2,” a reference to the April 2002 operation in the West Bank that critically damaged the terrorist infrastructure throughout the area.
