Operation Assaf was an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation against the Egyptian Army between December 5-December 15, 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
It was a small operation, executed between two larger operations in that theatre, Operation Yoav and Operation Horev.
The operation was carried out mainly with Golani Brigade's Gideon Battalion infantry forces, for whom this was the first operation in southern Israel or in flat desert terrain (Golani was normally stationed in the lush and hilly Upper Galilee region, near the Golan Heights for which it is named).

 1948 arab-israeli war - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Operation Dani was the most important one, aimed at securing and enlarging the corridor between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv by capturing the roadside cities Lydda (later renamed Lod) and Ramle.
Originally the operation was to be done on July 8, immediately after the first truce, by Irgun and Lehi but it was delayed by David Shaltiel possibly because he did not trust their ability after their failure to capture Deir Yassin without Haganah's assistance.
The operations were launched due to the belief that the UN would hand out all the territories the Israelis had managed to capture to the Arab states until the UN imposed a cease-fire.

At this point it is clear that both the IDF and the Olmert government are aware of the pitfalls of remaining inside the Strip too long, both in terms of the lack of a viable exit strategy and the international pressures likely to be incurred.
In the relatively distant past, e.g., 1956 and 1967, the IDF executed massive blitz operations that ended within days, because it feared early international pressure for a ceasefire and judged it could benefit from the advantage of surprise.
This describes Operation Summer Rains as well: by biding its time, letting the Qassam attacks pile up as a casus belli and exploiting the Shalit abduction--an attack on Israeli territory from near-sovereign Gaza--Israel reentered Gaza without the advantage of surprise, but with the US on its side and the EU essentially standing aside.
