Our Jerusalem.com - By Herb Keinon, Margot Dudkevitch, and Janine Zacharia JERUSALEM (April 18) – The IDF late last night began pulling out of the positions in Gaza that it reoccupied Monday night, with an official in the Prime Minister’s Office saying that it was because “the mission was completed.” Various IDF officers said throughout yesterday that the goal of the operation had been to push Sderot out of mortar range. An IDF statement last night said that, after completing its mission, the IDF was pulling its forces out of the Gaza Strip and redeploying them to their previous positions.
It added that the IDF views the Palestinian Authority as being directly responsible for what occurs in the area and expects it to prevent all terror activities, especially shooting at Israeli communities, civilians, and soldiers. The withdrawal came within hours of a statement issued by US Secretary of State Colin Powell calling on Israel to pull back its troops.
