IDF SPOKESPERSON ANNOUNCEMENT

Attack of terror infrastructure in the northern Gaza Strip

In response to the continued terror activity originating from the Gaza
Strip, including the firing of projectile rockets at Israeli communities,
the IDF carried out aerial attacks tonight, December 16th 2005, targeting
thirteen access routes in the northern Gaza Strip.

These access routes are used by terrorists to reach the areas from which
they launch rockets into Israel. The objective of targeting these routes is
to prevent the passage of terrorists to the rocket launching grounds, and to
disrupt the repeated attempts to fire projectile rockets at Israeli targets.

The IDF will continue to act with determination in order to defend the
citizens of the State of Israel.
