As the government weighs its response to the increase in Kassam attacks from Gaza, the US, through its ambassador to Israel, has stated that it will not restrain Israel from carrying out attacks in Gaza.



The Israeli Air Force carried out an attack in Northern Gaza on Monday, destroying a load of rockets being delivered to terrorist cells. Under the cease-fire agreement that Israel is unilaterally adhering to, it may only attack in Gaza to prevent an immanent threat.



In the attack, the terrorists themselves succeeded in escaping, but an Arab bystander was injured.
