not enough, IDF has been hitting those targets for 3+ days now, Hafia is not just some border town, its the 3rd largest city in Israel and a very important port city. Rocket and missile barrages into Hafia should not be tolerated and a stronger response is necessary. Syria and Iran need to get the message and more of the same bombing in Beruit and S. Lebanon will not cut it

11:34 IDF Spokesman to issue warning to Tel Aviv residents of possible strikes (Haaretz)

Wars aren't fought in a day, and don't lend themselves to our 24-hour news cycle. Logistics take time to work out. Reservists need to be mobilized. Weapons need to be moved into place. Not to mention that there are millions of civilians, including Americans and other foreign nationals in Lebanon, which hampers Israel's ability to stage an all-out war.

Striking Syria first isn't necessarily in Israel's best interests right now for a number of reasons. For starters, Syria would lob even more missiles at Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. International public opinion will further turn against Israel. And whatever replaces the idiot Bashar Assad's government may be even worse than him.
