　　Although Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) declared a ceasefire in the Gaza and Israeli soldiers began to withdraw from the Gaza, officials from both sides showed a tough stance on the 19th. Israeli officials said that another rocket attack would lead to another offensive, while Hamas’s spokesman claimed that the Israeli army had caused little damage to Hamas, and Hamas militants were capable of continuing to launch rockets.

　　After the ceasefire was announced, Israeli troops began to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

　　Israeli ground forces in the south, east of Gaza and north of Gaza are gradually retreating. As of noon on the 18th local time, Palestinian militants did not fire rockets at Israel.

　　According to the website of Ha ‘aretz, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in a meeting with leaders of several European countries on the 18th that Israel plans to leave the Gaza as soon as possible, but only if the situation is stable.

　　Israeli officials, who did not want to be named, said that Israeli troops would leave the Gaza before US President-elect Barack Obama took office on the 20th.

　　These officials’ statements were not confirmed by government spokesman Mark Regev. Regev said that as long as the Gaza remains calm, the Israeli army will leave immediately.

　　Although the Israeli army has gradually withdrawn from the territory, a large number of troops are still deployed on the Israeli side of the Palestinian-Israeli border area.

　　Restart the "targeted removal" operation at any time.

　　On the 19th, the Jerusalem Post website quoted a senior defense official as saying that the Israeli military planned to give Hamas a day or two to completely stop rocket attacks from the Gaza. During the ceasefire, the Israeli army will not assassinate Hamas’s senior leaders who have gone out of hiding, but if Israel continues to be attacked by rockets, the Israeli army will resume the "targeted killing" operation.

　　The official, who did not want to be named, said that Israel would no longer implement the previous restraint policy, and the Israeli army would respond as long as it was attacked.

　　Israeli Foreign Minister tzipi livni made a tough speech on the radio on the 19th, saying that Israel would definitely fight back if it was attacked by rockets again, and would launch a new offensive.

　　Preventing Hamas from acquiring weapons again is one of Israeli goals. Israel is making joint efforts with the United States and other countries to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons from Egypt into Gaza again.

　　Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter told Israel Radio that Israel would regard Hamas’s arms smuggling activities as an attack on Israeli territory. "That means that if arms smuggling starts again, Israel will regard it as an attack on Israel."
