An Israeli minister says that the regime's security cabinet has approved more targeted killing operations against Palestinian fighters.

"It was decided there will be more liquidation fire and I think this will limit the damage (on Israel from the Palestinian rocket attacks)," National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer told Israel Army Radio on Sunday.

"For several hours the security cabinet discussed the very complex security situation in the Gaza Strip and its implications in Egypt's Sinai and in the West Bank," said Welfare Minister Yitzhak Herzog.

"We should concentrate on bringing order through targeted killings, the destruction of infrastructure and of military headquarters," said Trade Minister Eli Yishai, a member of the security cabinet.

In an immediate response, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades affiliated to Fatah party said on Sunday that it was ordering its Gaza fighters to go on alert over a "threatened" Israeli operation. MM/BGH
