IDF Gaza commander: Talk of pullout encourages terrorists

[Cry Freedom]

There is a link between the recent rise in terror attacks in the territories and Israeli declarations about a unilateral withdrawal from settlements, according to Brigadier General Gad Shamni, commander of IDF forces in the Gaza Strip.

"There is no doubt that it has an effect," Shamni told Army Radio. "We saw it in Lebanon, too . The moment you talk about withdrawal, it puts fresh wind into the sails of the organizations working against us," Shamni said. He noted that the increased number of terror incidents in the Gaza Strip over the past two months also reflects the inability of Islamic Jihad and Hamas to carry out attacks outside of Gaza.
