I'm not suggesting that IDF is not doing a good job but I'd like to know why they don't knock out the rocket launchers FIRST and then destroy amunition stockpiles and infra-structure.Also these 3-hour 'humanitarian breaks' are only observed by IDF. Hasn't anyone noticed that Haman's boys are still shooting at us?

The rocket launchers are just cheap tubes that are set up on timers or ignited by remote so they are almost impossible to stop. Once they are blown up easily re-manufactured or replaced from a large stockpile manufactured in Gaza over the past 18 months. Also, Israel being the moral army that it is must allow Red Cross and food deliveries daily too. That much is understandable. What we should be doing however, is focusing on a stronger intl PR campaign to make sure that the world knows of Hamas's immoral fighting tactics such as shooting during these three hour silences. Bottom line though, war is war. No-one plays by the rules if they want to win.

They are all under ground within the City of Gaza and surounding villages, easy to take out assemble and fire. They also use very heavily populated areas in an attempt for our IDF to fire at the buildings and tell the world how wicked we are to kill Civilians. I abhor the fact that some of our Civilians in Ashkelon protested to the Home Guard and emergency services, who are trying to do a difficult job as it is. They deserve a lot of praise, not harassment. Protest at the border if you are strong enough, burn the Palestinian and Iranian flag.

The less rockets they have the better. Egypt must have turned a blind eye for them to have so many.

Don't look for my criticism of the IDF where there is none. And don't you dare accuse me of harrassment of the IDF. I suspect your intentions are egotistical and not objective. YOU burn flags at the border. I have better things to do, like collect food packages for our IDF in hospital.

Squeezing a baloon just moves the air to another part ot it. Bursting it is much more preferable and efficient. So far the application of force has been fairly light. This is now the time for a demonstration of what real heavy duty ka-BOOMS are like. Sort of a high explosive 2X4 upside the head, to gain, focus and concentrate the attention of the Chazas of Gaza(Hamas). Failing that. Killing as many of the buggers as can be done. And THAT aint bad.

Are Grads launched from portable launchers like Kassems or are they stationery, and perhaps more easily found and destroyed ? Hamas must be destroyed and rockets stopped so there is no question but that Israel won. Get the leaders -dead or alive - for use to return Shalit, hopefully well and alive. To hell withworld opinion let IDF do the job.

Just started bombing the tunnel and catchments and storage area depelete deplete wipe out swiftly. Star of David Rules :-)~

Only way to stop the missiles is to confront Hamas in the streets of Gaza and fight them man-to-man. But the IDF of today is not the IDF of 1967 or 1973, our Soldiers are too afraid, because Hamas will overpower them, just like Hezbollah did, two years ago.

the article mentioned that people around the site harassed the Home front and emergency services; it was a reference to them. Sorry you got the wrong end of the stick, I know how much you are working for our boys. I am too. But I would still take time out and tit for tat.

Exactly my point too Laura.The 3 hour given onlygives the terrorists more time to regenerate and continue further attacks. This must be stopped,because as far as we can see,it is not for the so-called benefit for giving their needs supposedly for food etc,BUT TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY ASPIRE TO, "upgrading "their weapons and afilliates(terror groups)and carry on almost with the blessing from Israel. A n unheard of phenomenon.Whilst the IDF is doing quite a good job,they myust continue without hesitation..I cannot understand the mentality of our leaders. Did Britain and the US act similarely during the 2nd world war?unbelievable! Did the Americans help the "Vietcon" while fighting?I can go on,but the reply IS OBVIOUS!

Don You asked the question and summarily gave us the answer.Quit right too,Hamas must be destroyed and so far in spite of the 14 day forrays,the terror group has not stopped lobbing their grade rockets.Therefore,we must continue ceaselessly to pind them,without hesitation. As for world opinion:Damn the whole world,who bend backward to appease to the arab street,and we know why.What is more,they do not have to live throughout 60+ years trying to survive and have peace. On getting the leaders is the main object and the IDf are doing a strerling job,BUT! they have a multitude of them plus the proxies as Iran,Syria and the rest who there suplying them with the wherewithal. Let's not EVER blame the IDF/IAF,please. Am Yisrael Chai!!!

level gaza NOW
