del.icio.us Digg It!  new Last update - 23:12 07/11/2007 Defense Minister Barak says long-term Gaza invasion is approaching By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Ehud Barak, Gaza Strip  Defense Minister Ehud Barak (Labor) said in a meeting with Labor activists in Tel Aviv on Wednesday that the Israel Defense Forces are approaching a major incursion into the Gaza Strip. "We are getting closer to a large-scale operation in Gaza and we're likely to say there for a long time," he said. He emphasized, however, that before such an operation, all other means to stop Qassam rocket fire should be exhausted. Barak gave the activists a survey of his activities as defense ministers and of the general security situation in Israel. Advertisement "We are dealing with the Iranian threat and are working with banks in the world to exert economic pressure on Iran." Regarding Hezbollah, which is said to have restocked its arms arsenal, Barak said Syria is aiding the Lebanese militia and that "UNIFIL [the United Nations Force in Lebanon] does not have the power to stop Hezbollah."
