Israeli Brigadier General: Hamas Wants to Conquer Tel Aviv
[Israeli
Brigadier
General: Hamas
Wants to Conquer
Tel Aviv by
Alexander Marlow
] "Last week,
Hamas began
firing rockets
into cities in
Southern Israel,
and today, in an
exclusive
interview with
Breitbart News,
Israeli
Brigadier
General Yossi
Kuperwasser said
"enough is
enough."
Kuperwasser,
Israel's
Director General
of the Ministry
for Strategic
Affairs,
confirmed media
reports that
75,000 Israeli
reservists have
been okayed to
mobilize for a
ground invasion
of Gaza, though
he wouldn't
comment on
whether he
believed an
invasion was
inevitable.
However,
Kuperwasser says
the crisis isn't
about Gaza. He
defined the
latest conflict
in plain terms:
Hamas "wants to
destroy Israel"
and take over
Tel Aviv. "For
them, Tel Aviv
is occupied
territory."
Though certainly
there are land
disputes between
Hamas and
Israel, the
contrast
Kuperwasser
keyed in on was
the difference
in tactics.
While Israel is
attempting to
target Hamas's
infrastructure,
i.e. disable
their long and
short range
rockets and
anti-aircraft
capabilities,
Hamas has
targeted
civilians in Tel
Aviv. "We use
weapons in a way
to minimize
rockets launched
into Israel,
they launch
rockets at
civilians," he
explained..."
