Occupied Jerusalem: Israel mulled ways of keeping up the pressure on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, a day after a suicide attack killed at least three people in Israel.
Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon said that Israel had to maintain its punishing economic sanctions against Gaza "as there is a war currently going on against Hamas".
"As long as the economic pressure is applied the rocket fire decreases," he told public radio.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is meeting foreign and defence ministers and other security officials on Wednesday to discuss the suicide bombing and the border with Egypt.
Israel continued strikes on Hamas in the Gaza Strip after Monday’s suicide bombing that killed a 73-year-old woman in Dimona. Hamas claimed responsibility for thee attack.
