Israel’s demand for international monitoring before any ceasefire. Smart of them.

Would that be international as in U.N. monitors? IIRC, they didn't work out too well for Israel in the Lebanon incursion . . . am I missing something?

Israel should up the ante. Whenever a rocket is fired into Israel, the entire block from whence it came will be destroyed. No need for civilian casualties. The residents will have one hour to evacuate between the rocket's launch and the retaliation. How many residents will permit their neighborhoods to be used as launch bases after that?
