Second minister joins call for IDF to invade Gaza | The Times of Israel
Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz asserted Tuesday that the IDF will ultimately have no choice but to reoccupy the Gaza Strip for a limited period of time in order to 'deter' Palestinian resistance groups from firing rockets into Israeli settlements.
During a visit to the southern town of Sderot, Steinitz claimed that the rate at which Gaza groups were arming themselves was reminiscent of the Lebanese organization Hezbollah, and said that a military operation was required in order to ensure that Israeli civilians in the south remained safe.
“At a certain point we will have to take over the Strip for some limited time in order to halt Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s heavy missiles and long-range rocket armament, which reminds us of Hezbollah’s stockpiling [of rockets] in Lebanon,” he said.
............................
Let me point of out the lies here:
1. He isn't saying this to 'deter' a rocket threat. He's saying if Palestinians make good use of technology and become strong enough to deter an Israeli air offensive or ground invasion they should attack Gaza unprovoked. They have no right to attack Gaza just because it's arming slightly to defend the Palestinian people.
2. He says the Palestinians are arming at rapid rates, please tell us how they are arming when Egypt destroyed all the tunnels around Gaza?
3. He claims they're stockpiling like Hezbollah, no, Hezbollah has a way larger arsenal of maybe near 70,000 rockets(mostly short range) and Gaza has less than several thousand according to Israel and they're way less powerful than rockets in Lebanon. In Gaza there isn't much effective advanced technology. So this is over exaggerating a small threat to justify attacking Gaza and it's citizens.
4. What he calls 'long range and heavy missiles' are 60-70km 200mm rockets with less than 50kg warheads and it's estimated by Israel only a few dozen are available and they probably have intelligence on them so they don't pose any threat.
Once again, if somebody believes they are as powerful as this minister makes them appear please explain to us how they are arming at the rate of Hezbollah. @ResurgentIran @500
