Israel will launch a "full-scale military operation" to stop cross-border rocket attacks from Gaza by late March or early April, an active reserve officer with the Israel Defense Force predicted.

Elliot Chodoff, 52, an IDF major who deals with strategy and tactics, estimated that the Jewish state would not attempt to occupy Gaza during such a future operation, but instead strive to "break up the infrastructure and kill a lot of terrorists." Such a military strike could, in Chodoff's view, set Palestinian terrorists back a few years and put them on notice that rocket attacks won't be tolerated.

"Because of the weather, an operation of that type requires very close and very predictable air capabilities," said Chodoff, speaking to a crowd of around 50 people at Har Zion Temple in Penn Valley. "It's [currently] winter. If the weather turns, the last thing you want is to have troops on the ground and not be able to call in air support."

Chodoff's Jan. 24 talk was titled "Threats to Israel: Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran." Just that morning, the media was filled with stories about Israeli strikes against targets in Gaza, and Palestinians tearing down a border fence that connects to Egypt and pouring in to the neighboring country.
