In a speech to the Israeli parliament, he reserved the right to continue raids in the West Bank to detain suspected militants and halt further attacks against Israelis in a more than 19-month-old Palestinian uprising against occupation. "We have not finished the job. Our fight against terror continues," Sharon said. "There is not and will not be any hiding place for the terrorists, their helpers and accomplices." Israeli forces reoccupied West Bank cities and towns in the offensive launched on March 29 but has since withdrawn the troops, while keeping areas encircled. Sharon said the military operation was "an important and vital stage" in the struggle against Palestinian militants.
