GAZA VIOLENCE: PRACTICE FOR FULL SCALE INVASION?

Jane's Foreign Report, a publication of the respected British defense and
intelligence industry analyst Jane's Information Group, says Israel is
planning to use the cover of the expected US attack on Iraq to neutralize
Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip. Jane's quotes Israeli
military sources as saying Israel will take advantage of the moment to go
into the Gaza Strip and "clear it on a house-to-house fighting basis" of
the Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and the Palestinian security services (JFR, Nov.
