Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday in the weekly cabinet meeting that Israel has no intention of fortifying every building in Gaza area communities or in Sderot.The famed "rope-a-dope" strategy . . .
the Israeli prime minister added that by the year 2010 Israel will be in possession of an anti-missile defense system, and that certain designated areas will be fortified against Qassam rocket strikes.
"We will provide the residents of Sderot and the Gaza vicinity an appropriate answer through a multilevel system against the Qassam," Olmert said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting, during which the ministers approved a budget of NIS 327 million (about $91.61 million) for the fortification package, as okayed by a ministerial committee last week.
Olmert said the fortification of the western Negev will be based on a combination of solutions such as the Iron Dome Defense System, an early-warning system, new school buildings and fortification of homes.
