Likud Knesset member Yuval Steinitz called on the government to allow the IDF to re-enter Gaza in a pre-emptive strike to head off further development of terrorist infrastructure.



Steinitz, a member of the Knesset Foreign Relations and Defense Committee, said “The picture being drawn for us is grave. I call on the government to launch Operation Defensive Shield II in the Gaza Strip.”



Steinitz made his remarks in response to a report by General Security Services (Shin Bet) Director Yuval Diskin that hundreds of Hamas terrorists are being sent to Iran for “long-term, high-quality training.”
