JERUSALEM (AP) – Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday rejected United Nations and other international criticism of Israel’s offensive into the Gaza Strip and vowed to press forward with the operation.
His comments came the day after some 70 Palestinians were killed in the highest single-day death toll since fighting erupted in 2000.
Israel has stepped up its activity in Gaza in response to heavy rocket fire launched from the Hamas-ruled strip, including several barrages that reached the major city of Ashkelon, some 11 miles north of Gaza.
“If anyone is under the illusion that by increasing the range (of the rocket fire) they’ll get us to scale back our operations, he is making a serious mistake,” Olmert told his Cabinet. “With all due respect, nothing will prevent us from continuing operations to protect our citizens.”
“Let me be clear, Israel has no intention of stopping the fight against terror for a second,” he added, emphatically.
