Afterward, a full artillery barrage should follow every rocket attack. Flame throwers should be deployed along the border as well.
Gaza residents have about as much influence/control over their “government” as a resident of Taliban controlled Pakistan/Afghanistan.
As in zero. So why give the propaganda advantage. Right now the IDF is using smart guided munitions of various kinds to great affect.
And Hamas has not even shown any indication of wanting a ceasefire. So let the IDF do what they need to do as they deem necessary. They are applying the US precision capability very well.
They need to take out the heart of Hamas and those fundamentalists don’t exactly view this level of death as problematic. When they do, you will hear the crying secondhand in the press.
But even then, the IDF should not slow their impact until they certify satisfaction with the operation. Otherwise, the situation will be repeated in less than a year.
One also has to consider what is an effective disruption of the Iranian plans. And right now those plans are being disrupted. Best to let it continue.
Dead on, Dilbert. How many times is Israel going to agree to a cease fire only to suffer more rocket attacks in the future?
They need to take the gloves off once and for all. Make it so painful for these people to attack Israel that they just don’t bother any more.
