Reuters July 4, 2006 GAZA - Israel warned the governing Palestinian faction Hamas that the "sky will fall on them" if they harm a captured soldier after a deadline passed on Tuesday for the Jewish state to accept a prisoner exchange.
While Israeli tanks and infantry massed along the Gaza Strip's northern border for a threatened ground incursion, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the campaign to free Corporal Gilad Shalit could turn into "a long war." |

AFP July 4, 2006 JERUSALEM - Israel has stepped up the pressure on arch-foe Damascus, accusing it of supporting Palestinian militants behind the capture of an Israeli soldier that has sparked a new crisis in the Middle East.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered security forces to pursue military operations against the militants and those who command and shelter them, in a thinly veiled reference to Damascus. "I gave the order to continue operations to strike terrorists, those who protect them and those who give them orders," he told a meeting of business leaders Tuesday in the southern city of Beersheva. "We will hit all terrorists. No one who attempts to harm the state of Israel will be spared," he said. |

The UN Middle East envoy says the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip has become "dangerous" since Israel launched an operation to win the release of an abducted soldier.
"Until just before the capture of Corporal (Gilad) Shalit, it was a dangerous humanitarian situation and there was a significant deterioration across the board," Alvaro de Soto said in an interview with AFP on Tuesday. |
