Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday that the deadly Palestinian attack on an Israel Defense Forces convoy near the Gaza border earlier in then day was a "most serious incident," and vowed that Israel's military response was yet to come.
Olmert told the directors general of each government ministry that determining an appropriate response to the incident, which killed an Israeli soldier and wounded three others, was at the top of Israel's agenda.
"What the IDF has done now [in Gaza] is not the response," Olmert said, referring to an IAF strike and clashes in the coastal territory, which followed the deadly attack. "Israel response is yet to come."
Defense Minister Ehud Barak held talks on Tuesday afternoon with defense establishment officials to assess Israel's response.
Barak told military academy cadets earlier Tuesday that the incident "is serious, and it cannot be accepted and we will respond. There is no benefit in specifying [the response]."
