The Prime Minister\'s Security Cabinet convened yesterday for over five hours to assess the current security situation and the increase in PLO warfare. Following the meeting, the government confirmed that its policy of an \"offensive defense\" - striking out against terrorists that pose an immediate threat to Israel -would continue. The government defended its position against condemnations from the US, UK and the UN stating that the leadership of any civilized society, entrusted with the obligation to protect its citizens against daily terror attacks, would act in the same fashion.



Many Arab terrorists who were operating out in the open in coordination with Arafat\'s PA have now gone underground in fear of falling victim to Israel\'s far-reaching arm.
