We're here in Kibbutzad. You just heard an artillery shell fired by the Israeli Army trying to defend this area, this southern area of the state of Israel from the mortar and missile fire that it's been enduring for the last state years. And I'm here with Lieutenant Colonel Nitsan, a Lieutenant Colonel in the reserves in the Israel Defense Forces. And Lieutenant Colonel Nitsan, if you can please give us a bit of a sense just of the history of the last state years in terms of the violence perpetrated against this region, against these towns, these cities, these Kibbutzim, and who has been conducting the violence from Gaza so that we have some perspective. Well, it's been eight years that the picture you just took of this house has been going on on and off with depending what the political situation is, who is launching it, everybody in Gaza. You can't just point one organization, there's a dozen of them. Each one is blaming the other as soon as they get to talk with us. It started with Fatah and now it's Hamas, but in Islamic jihad and it's every different Palestinian organization that can get hold on an irrigation pipe and weld it together to make a Qasam rocket is shooting one. So just so that we understand we're told and this is the way the entire media is portraying this and everybody's speaking about it as a war between Israel and Hamas. Are you suggesting that we're misunderstanding this or are we understanding it correctly? I'm not quite sure. You're totally misunderstanding. Hamas was elected by 75% of the people who live right down there. And three years ago they took the over power forcefully. They killed Fatah that was in charge. 200 or 300 whatever he was dead, PLO soldiers and police ran off and Hamas took over, but Hamas was elected by the people who live there. So prior to three years ago when Fatah or the Palestinian Authority as we know of it outside the state of Israel was in charge. Who was firing those missiles, who was firing those mortarounds because you know and I know from speaking to these residents it's very clear this has been going on for much longer than three years. Who was doing it? For three years it's Hamas, Hamas in charge, but before when Yasser Arafat or after him Abu Al-Alai was in charge or the claim was it's not exactly us it's the next old guy who's doing it but it's it's you can define them it's a whole population there who's shooting rockets everybody who reached the age of 15 can hold the thing in the shooting and there's no really real definition we hit for too long time we we set by here and we said the price that people like the people who live in this house are paying is price we can afford and unfortunately we said it for way too long because right now my son is fighting with them. I know I know that your son is fighting in Gaza and I know that there's the possibility that you will go in as well and just to be very very clear many people in Israel are hoping that the outcome of this incursion is that the Palestinian Authority will regain control of Gaza and that Israel will have a legitimate partner for the pursuit of some sort of peace agreement is it your suggestion that with the Palestinian Authority that's possible or not? I'm saying that it's a farce and regardless who's going to be in charge they're going to shoot rockets unless they'll know that there's a heavy price paid for any rockets shot and unless that is made very clear they'll keep on shooting that's my private opinion. Thank you very very much.
