The policy of the Olmert government is upping the ante. They explicitly took hostages to exchange for Shalit and take more daily. They stated so in court.

Also, the IDF Navy has less respect for the cease-fire than does Islamic Jihad. Yesterday it was reported that 2 more Gazans were wounded when fired on at sea off one Gaza location and another group of fishermen were fired on off another Gaza location.
