Info) GAZA/TEL AVIV - December 25, 2008: The Israeli authorities are preparing a military response to Palestinian rocket attacks in Gaza, the country's leading papers reported on Thursday citing military sources.
Palestinian militants fired on Wednesday over 40 rockets and 20 mortar shells at southern Israeli border towns in the largest daily attack since the end of a six-month ceasefire in Gaza six days ago.
Hamas militants said the rocket attack was in response to the earlier killing of three Palestinians by Israel.
Dozens of Israelis were reported to be suffering from shock. The attacks are also reported to have caused extensive damage to residential and commercial buildings.
"Our goal is to make Hamas come to a decision that the fire must stop, and this goal can be accomplished by a military operation, which is unpreventable in the current situation," the Ynet news portal quoted an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) source as saying in a statement.
Military sources said Israeli forces would enter Gaza "to put pressure on the terror organizations" as soon as the weather improves to enable the Air Force to carry out precision air strikes.
The developments in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and ways of dealing with the attacks were discussed at a special meeting on Wednesday of the Israeli Cabinet, involving key ministers and the heads of Israeli security services.
