YA’ALON: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR HAMAS ATTACKS:

Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon welcomed the IDF's discovery of a terror tunnel Monday, 18 April 2016, noting it as a strategic step in defeating Hamas' war objectives. "We have no illusions about Hamas' intentions," said Ya’alon. "Even before Operation Protective Edge, and of course afterwards, we have been devoting considerable efforts - technological, operational, and intelligence - to detect tunnels in Gaza. In recent months, Hamas has experienced the effects of the collapse of tunnels they have dug - they have been killed on the job and now face exposure," he continued, adding that Hamas "can can draw conclusions, cease engaging in terror and we will be free to help improve the quality of life in Gaza and the welfare of the residents there. We do not want confrontation, but if Hamas tries to challenge the State of Israel and disrupt the lives of residents of communities near the Gaza Strip, it will be beaten with a very hard blow. We will not tolerate such attempts." (Arutz-7) Pray for the strongholds of deception, hatred and terrorist leadership to be broken over Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Intercede for strong government heads to be raised up who have a vision for building and strengthening the Gaza Strip society, rather than spending the billions of dollars of foreign aid, for decades poured into Hamas coffers, on devising means to destroy the Jewish State.
