Israeli political and military leaders are increasingly apprehensive at the "unpleasant developments" in Iraq, a reference to mounting Iraqi resistance to occupiers.

On Thursday, top Israeli military and intelligence chiefs met in Tel Aviv to discuss the "deterioration of the security situation in Iraq" and its possible ramifications on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Some Israeli commentators have highlighted the "striking similarity" between what the Americans are doing in Falluja, Baquba, and Ramadi on the one hand and what the Israeli occupation army has been doing in Rafah, Khan Yunis and Jenin.

"When I turn to Aljazeera, I need a few minutes to realise that this is Iraq not Palestine," said Uri Avnery, a veteran Israeli journalist and commentator.
