- Story Text: Some Israeli ground forces withdrew from the Gaza Strip on Saturday (August 2) but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was prepared to continue fighting Palestinian guerrillas in the Gaza Strip even after the army completes its primary mission of destroying cross-border tunnels from the territory.
Netanyahu threatened on Saturday to exact an "intolerable price" from the Gaza Strip's dominant Hamas Islamists should there be continued attacks from the Palestinian territory.
Late afternoon on Saturday two Israeli television stations reported troops were withdrawing.
Asked about the reports, an Israeli military spokesman said she could not comment on troop deployments. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
