Poll: 81 percent of Israelis back increasing IDF targeted killings

A vast majority - 81 percent - of Israelis support increasing the targeted killings of Palestinian militants, according to a poll administered by Tel Aviv University's "Peace Index" survey.

The poll also found that 60.5 percent believe that Israel should not reach a cease-fire agreement with the Hamas in which the Israel Defense Forces would cease targeted killings if Hamas stops firing Qassam rockets towards Israel.

51 percent of those polled said they think Israel must fulfill its commitments from the Annapolis conference and freeze construction in the settlements, compared to 42 percent who did not. 55 percent believe Israel should evacuate the illegal settlement outposts in the West Bank, while 39 percent do not.

The poll was taken a few days after the West Bank shooting attack that left two Israeli hikers dead.
