IDF Begins Permanent Operation Pattern on Terrorists!
Eye for an Eye – Tooth for a Tooth!
Exodus 21:24,25 – Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, [25] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

The Operational Pattern that the Israeli Defense Forces will be using right up to the time of false peace in Israel is now coming into place.
It has begun as ‘Operation First Rain’ and, simply put, amounts to “You hit us” – We hit you back harder than you hit us! We will hit you from the air by the IAF and, if necessary, we will launch IDF ground troop probes of short duration into your populated areas.
The extract which follows is the last half of an article by Herb Keinon, Ariel O’Sullivan, and Yaakov Katz, THE JERUSALEM POST.
Just as the Israelis indicated in previous BLOGS, they will retaliate eye for eye, and tooth for tooth against the terrorists as they continue to build the security barrier around the West Bank. The continuous operation of retaliation is the only way to make the Palestinians consider halting the rocket launches.
A “forced” peace will bring in what amounts to what we indicated would be the Biblical “false” peace some five years ago in our first Prophecy Update Number 1, as we stated: “Eventually there will be some form of peace between the Palestinians and Israel. It may be a “forced” peace, but the end result will be an enclosed Palestinian State within the borders of Israel. This will create an impossible situation for Israel.
There is no worse military position than to have an enemy within while being attacked from without.”

IDF OPERATING UNDER ‘NO RESTRICTIONS’
By Herb Keinon, Ariel O’Sullivan, and Yaakov Katz.

Speaking to the cabinet earlier Sunday,
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz warned that the IDF would engage in sustained action and spare no means in redoubling its efforts
to bring an end to the Kassam attacks on the western Negev.
“There are no restrictions on the use of any measures in order to strike at the terrorists, their equipment and where they find shelter,” Sharon said at the opening of Sunday’s cabinet meeting. “The instructions are unequivocal; we do not mean a one-time action here.”
The rocket attacks on Sderot “must be stopped,” said Sharon. “It cannot continue under any circumstances.”
Sharon said that the IDF actions of the last 24 hours were not “a short-term action, but a policy that must lead to the cessation of the terrorist organizations’ actions against Israeli communities. I am certain that it is within our ability to halt the terrorist organizations’ actions against us. The activity will not only be in Gaza but will also be against terrorism in Judea and Samaria.”
He said the only limitation on the IDF was its “regular objective” of “not hitting civilians.”
Mofaz told cabinet ministers that he directed the IDF to implement a deterrence policy that “will extract a price tag for attacks on Israeli citizens.”
He warned that the IDF would carry out a series of continuous actions “in the air and on the ground” against Hamas and Islamic Jihad, including targeted assassinations against all levels of the organizations.
He said that messages were passed through American and Egyptian intermediaries warning Palestinian civilians not to enter fields from where Kassam rockets had been launched because those areas would come under Israeli attack.
The defense minister said he gave the IDF the green light to use all means at the IDF’s disposal, including artillery fire, to create a buffer zone in areas such as the northern Gaza Strip from where the Kassam rockets were fired.
Meanwhile Sunday, police kept up their level of high alert across
the country out of fear Palestinian terror groups would renew suicide bombings in Israeli cities following the violent events over the weekend.
With the security fence mostly complete around the West Bank, police noted Sunday that most of their work would be in the area surrounding the southern Hebron hills and around Jerusalem.
Police set up roadblocks in the south and combed the nearby fields for Palestinians who had illegally entered Israel.

I prepared this BLOG on Sunday. The following article I received on Monday morning, and added it to what I had prepared on Sunday.
ADDED REPORT FROM DEBKAfile

Earlier, Jihad Islami commander Sheikh Muhammed Khalil and his bodyguard were killed from an Israeli helicopter. On Sept 4, jehidist terror group leader was revealed in public for the first time. Khalil was behind the explosion that killed four members of the Hatuel family, a mother and four daughters, from Katif,
and blowing up an Israeli armored car,killing five soldiers on the Philadelphi route.
Both attacks were perpetrated in 2004.

‘Operation First Rain’ Continues in Gaza
By Arieh O’Sullivan, THE JERUSALEM POST
September 26, 2005
The Israel Air Force continued Monday to strike at terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza Strip despite the near cessation of rocket and mortar attacks and a pledge by Hamas to cease Kassam attacks.
“We don’t relate to Hamas mutterings and are judging everything according to reality on the ground,” said deputy Defense Minister Ze’ev Boim. “We will hit Hamas and other organizations in Gaza and not just once so they understand that the rules of the game have changed.”
Boim told Army Radio that the continuing IDF strikes were aimed at “searing into their conscience” that Israel was determined to create deterrence.
“If we have to, we’ll turn the screws even tighter,” Boim said.
