Israel's prime minister says the five-month truce with Hamas in the Gaza Strip has been "shattered" following 13 days of tit-for-tat attacks.
Ehud Olmert told an Israeli cabinet meeting on Sunday that he had ordered security chiefs to draw up plans to end rocket and mortar attacks on southern Israel, news agency AFP reported.
Olmert said he asked Israel's security agencies to "present different action plans against the Hamas terror rule without its hampering our ability to use all necessary force in our response to violations of the calm."

I just don't get it - I understand doing what one thinks is necessary to prevent attacks, but why on earth do they think its okay to cut off food and electricity?? Why are they punishing the children for this? There are families, innocents in the Gaza area who are suffering, and may die without the food that comes in from the UN - how can they justify that?? I am so sad for the pain being caused by the embargoes that Israel is imposing on a group that is already barely surviving. Shame on them for condemning innocents in their lust for victory.
