Yesterday evening\'s Israeli attack on Palestinian targets included combat helicopter fire at a Force 17 facility in Ramallah and four Force 17 stations in Gaza. Contrary to false PA reports, there was no assault against targets in Hevron. The four targets in Gaza included a storage facility, a training base, and an armored vehicle - all from Arafat\'s personal Force 17, which has been behind much of the Palestinian terrorism of recent weeks. Government spokesmen said that last night\'s attacks were just the beginning of a long campaign of warfare against terrorist targets.
The IDF Spokesman said, “We believe that the time has come for Force 17, which has an official standing in the PA, to take responsibility for acts of terror perpetrated by its forces or attacks planned and endorsed by its commanders… This is a signal to anyone with eyes in his head and the ability to understand that we are unwilling to endure this wave of violence… We endured eight attacks in the period of a week that resulted in three fatalities and 47 injuries. We believe this is enough!\"
