Israeli tanks mass for 'Days of Penitence' in Gaza

Armoured vehicles massed on Gaza’s border today after Israel’s security Cabinet approved a large-scale military operation – codenamed Days of Penitence - to stop Palestinian rocket fire.

Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz ordered troops to “exact a price” from the militants, security officials said, after a Hamas rocket killed two children, aged two and four, in an Israeli border town.
