Amnon Lipkin-Shahak: Occupy Gaza if Ashkelon gets hit by rockets like
Sderot

Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 20 May, 2007

Former COS Amnon Lipkin-Shahak suggested in a live interview broadcast on
Israel Radio this morning that right now the situation is not serious enough
to justify occupying Gaza but that if rocket attacks extend to include
Ashkelon then there might be no choice but to occupy Gaza.

Israel Radio broadcast a report within a few minutes of the interview that
Hamas has announced that they intend to cause Israel to evacuate Ashkelon
just as Sderot is now being evacuated in the wake of the rocket attacks
against it.
