SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot, in the wake of the IDF’s success in preventing, what could have been, a catastrophic terrorist attack, calls to our „dear friends in the IDF and other security arms: We have not the least doubt that you have detected the escalation by the terrorists, in their ability to maneuver and deceive that had not been seen in previous terror attacks, the darkness of the advancing storm over the Sinai skies, the ‘holes’ the we have (and will always exist) in our defense against terrorism, the points of weakness, which we will not note here for understandable reasons and your obligation to be intoxicated for only a moment from the achievement and the flattering headlines and return immediately to your sacred work. Moshe Dayan, were he alive, would have said: ‘Gentlemen, leave the celebrations for others. For you, there is still a lot to be done'”
Ma’ariv points out that, „The comparison [of an attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure] to the bombing in Iraq is unfounded. The danger then, both to the pilots and to the home front, were negligible, and the IDF had the ability to make the Osirak nuclear facility totally inoperative.” The author says that, „It is unclear if Netanyahu is serious in his intentions to attack in Iran. What is clear is that such an attack would only ‘scratch’ the nuclear facilities and would exact from Israel a price.”
Yisrael Hayom muses that, „The television broadcasts in Egypt the day following the attack at the Karem Shalom crossing seemed like satire starring the Egyptian comedian Adel Imam. Global Jihad terrorists killed 16 Egyptian soldiers during the month of Ramadan, swiped their weapons and equipment and turned them toward Israeli targets
– while loony protesters in front of our embassy in Cairo blamed the Mossad and called to cut diplomatic relations.”
