Hezbollah tells Palestinians to increase terror...

This just underscores just how murderous Hezbollah really is.
Palestinian terror cells operating in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in conjunction with Hizbullah are under orders by the Lebanese-based terror group to escalate their attacks against Israel, a high-ranking IDF officer has told The Jerusalem Post.

On Sunday, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired two Grad-type Katyusha rockets at Israel, just hours before a UN-brokered cease-fire went into effect bringing 34 days of hostilities between Israel and Hizbullah to an end. Since the cease-fire went into effect in the North, there has been an increase in the number of Kassam rockets fired at Israel. On Thursday, several IDF jeeps were attacked by Palestinian terrorists as they patrolled the Gaza Strip security fence.

"There is an effort to step up attacks within the Palestinian territories now that there is a cease-fire in the North," the high-ranking officer said. "Hizbullah is trying to activate their cells in Gaza and the West Bank and to ensure that Israel is still under attack even if they have stopped their rocket fire in the North."

But despite the slight escalation, the IDF did not plan to begin transferring troops from the North back to the West Bank or the Gaza Strip and would keep most of its ground forces along the Lebanese border until the situation with Hizbullah stabilized, the officer said.

In the West Bank, the IDF has also noticed a stepped-up effort by local Palestinian terror cells to perpetrate suicide attacks against Israeli cities. There were eight suicide and kidnapping attempts that were thwarted by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and the IDF, some within cities after terrorists had already infiltrated into Israel.

Gaza should be bulldozed entirely and the inhabitants forced to flee to Cairo - it would be the greatest gift anyone could give them. Instead, the Islamic fascists want to keep them locked up in Gaza so they will always be a thorn in Israel's side. Arabs hate Palestinians.
