Jadi jelas: tujuan serangan Israel ini bukan sekedar mau membalas tembakan
roket Hamas, tapi untuk memberi pukulan mematikan buat Hamas.
Inilah pendapat saya hari ini setelahmembaca berita ini: (artinya bila berita
ini co,frmed) serangan ini bukan hanay membalas tembakan roket dari Hamas tapi
untuk menutup jalan bagi Obama, yang akan menjabat Presiden Amerika, buat
mencari penyelesaian masaalah Palestina yang menghargai hak-hak orang

Olmert: Airstrikes, blockade merely 'first stage' in Gaza
* Story Highlights
* NEW: President Bush calls Mahmoud Abbas to discuss "sustainable
cease-fire"
* Official says defense minister will consider truce to allow aid into Gaza
* U.S. to send $85 million to help West Bank, Gaza, Palestinian refugees
* Israeli patrol boat hits vessel carrying medical volunteers, supplies
GAZA CITY (CNN) -- Israel's fourth day of attacks in Gaza sent the Palestinian
death toll to more than 375 as the Jewish state's prime minister warned Tuesday
that the air offensive marked only the beginning, according to officials.
"We are currently at the first stage of the operation," Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert told President Shimon Peres during a morning briefing, according to
officials.
Olmert's summation came a day after Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Israel's
parliament that the campaign launched Saturday marked an "all-out war" against
Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza.
However, an official in the Defense Ministry said Barak would consider a
proposal for a two-day truce to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Barak would
bring the issue up Tuesday with Olmert, the official said.
Earlier, an Israeli military official denied reports that a truce was in the
works, and Mark Regev, Olmert's spokesman, said he was aware of no such
proposal.
The Israeli military says it is targeting only Hamas militants, which it says
are responsible for a recent barrage of rocket fire into southern Israel.
Palestinian parliament member Mustafa Barghouti, however, has called the raids
a "war on the Palestinian people" and said the incursion is politically
motivated. VideoWatch how Israel is sitting on Gaza's border »
Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this is not the case and insists
that Israel is trying to pinpoint militants.
He said of Hamas, "They are committed to our destruction. They're firing
missiles at our civilians. They're hiding behind their civilians. That's a
double war crime right there."
He declared Israel to be amid a "grave crisis" and said he believes that "down
the line, we'll have to bring down the Hamas regime."
Netanyahu will vie again for the prime ministerial post in February against
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Barak, another former prime minister. See

The United Nations has called for both sides to end the violence, and U.N.
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has roundly condemned both sides: Hamas for the
rocket fire and Israel for its "excessive use of force" in retaliating.
Meanwhile, President Bush called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas
and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to discuss a "sustainable cease-fire," White
House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said in Crawford, Texas.
The power base of Abbas' Fatah party is in the West Bank. The party is locked
in a power struggle with Hamas, which won parliamentary elections in January
2006 and wrested Gaza from Fatah in violent clashes last year. Abbas, a U.S.
ally, wields little influence in Gaza. Learn more about Gaza's political

Three civilians and a soldier have been killed by rockets landing in southern
Israel since the campaign began Saturday.
Though Palestinian medical sources say that most of the 375 people killed in
Gaza were Hamas militants, U.N. officials said that at least 60 civilians were
among the dead. VideoWatch why the U.N. is frustrated »
Hamas security sources and Palestinian medical sources said two girls, ages 4
and 11, were killed early Tuesday in an Israeli airstrike as they rode in a
donkey-driven cart in Beit Hanoun.
The Israeli Defense Forces said it was checking the report.
Israel bombed a Hamas government compound early Tuesday, leveling at least
three structures, including the foreign ministry building, according to
witnesses and Hamas security sources. PhotoSee scenes from this week's violence

A Gaza-based journalist, whose name was withheld for security reasons, said
that he heard 18 blasts in the area and that two fires were burning at the
compound.
More bombs continued to drop over Gaza throughout the day.
In the Mediterranean Sea, an Israeli patrol vessel struck a boat carrying
medical volunteers and supplies to Gaza early Tuesday as it attempted to
intercept the vessel, witnesses and Israeli officials said.
CNN correspondent Karl Penhaul was aboard the 60-foot, Gibraltar-registered
Dignity when the incident happened in international waters about 90 miles (145
kilometers) from Gaza. VideoWatch Penhaul describe the collision »
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor called allegations that the
boat was deliberately rammed "absurd" and countered that the volunteer vessel
was trying to outmaneuver the Israeli boat.
Despite the blockade and the airstrikes targeting hundreds of Hamas targets,
there was no indication of a ground operation in Gaza, but Israel has tanks on
the territory's periphery and voted this week to call up 2,000 reserve
soldiers. VideoWatch whether peace has a chance in Gaza »
Israel has allowed dozens of trucks carrying relief supplies into Gaza. Also,
the Rafah border crossing to Egypt was opened temporarily Tuesday to allow aid
workers and medical supplies into Gaza and to transport injured Palestinians to
hospitals in Al Arish, about 19 miles from the border, Egyptian journalist
Shahira Amin said.
Doctors in Al Arish said they were treating 36 wounded Palestinians, at least
six of whom were critically injured and being transferred to a hospital in
Cairo, Egypt, for treatment. More patients were expected to arrive Tuesday, the
doctors said.
The U.S. State Department announced it will provide the U.N. with $85 million
to help stem the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories. Of that,
$25 million will go to food, medicine and other humanitarian assistance, and
$60 million will go toward education, health care and social services for 4.6
million Palestinian refugees across the region, including those in Jordan,
Lebanon and Syria.
Militants in Gaza have fired more than 70 rockets and mortar shells into
southern Israel since Monday, the IDF reported. At least 180 rockets have been
launched into Israel since the campaign began, sources said.
On Tuesday, two rockets damaged buildings in Sderot, and a third rocket landed
in a cemetery, wounding one person, Israeli medical services and the military
reported. VideoWatch damage in Sderot, Israel »
Hamas pledges that it will defend its land and people from what it calls
continued Israeli aggression. Each side blames the other for violating an
Egyptian-brokered cease-fire. The truce formally expired December 19, but it
had been weakening for months.
In a statement issued by his office, Peres said the ongoing shelling by Hamas
"defies reason and logic, and it doesn't stand a chance."
"There isn't a person in the world who understands what the goals of Hamas are
and why they continue to fire rockets," Peres said.
