      IDF Offered Assistance in Gaza Without PA Request


      The IDF offered its assistance in the northern Gaza sewage disaster without waiting for the Palestinian Authority to request humanitarian or medical aid, according to a senior military official.

      The Jewish State offered to evacuate to an Israeli hospital the victims of a flood caused by a burst cesspool in a northern Gaza village on Tuesday. Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered the IDF to transfer medical equipment to the PA as well.
