where is it ?
2. No...............
(07.16.09)
No damage or casualties as usual!
3. Instant response to external attack
Brod ,   USA   (07.16.09)
Israel should execute instant response to such aggression. The wolves and tigers of the region can only be deterred by rapid response.
4. Rocket
Farooq ,   UK   (07.16.09)
No need to start a war, Hamas tried to stop them plus Hamas aint been firing rockets, and its not nice seeing more people die that includes israelis + palestinian.

6. Large rockets from gaza each = 60 military grenades
Zvi   (07.16.09)
Each M67 fragmentation grenade used by the US military carries 1/3 lb of explosives. Large rockets fired from Gaza at Israeli schools, hospitals and towns contain up to 60 times that amount of explosive. (search for Michael Yon) SINCE ISRAEL WITHDREW FROM GAZA, Gazan terror groups have targeted civilians with the equivalent of 350,000 lethal military hand grenades. Hamas and friends nevertheless continue to try to kill civilians; the low number of deaths in Israeli towns is NOT a credit to Hamas; rather, only local and national efforts to protect Israeli civilians, and the requirement that all homes have reinforced rooms, have prevented catastrophic losses in the civilian population.
7. danger from these rockets
Alex ,   Cardiff   (07.16.09)
isn't casualties, but an erosion of Israeli sovereignety over the territory where it falls. Terrorists practically say "it isn't your land, as we project our power here at the time of our choosing". Although, they can miscalculate again. But they also don't have choice - their job description includes rocket-launching activity, otherwise Iranians won't pay their salaries.

one day, one such rocket will fall on a kindergarden full of jewish children, as it did some years ago. what would you say then? no response? i am going to lobby a rocket into your home and school where your child sleeps and studies with the hope that it will amputate and kill him. what would you do? would you respond or would you write the same talkback?
9. to # 8 you have to live in Gaza first

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.17.09)
Israel's luck is that most of these rockets have fallen in open spaces.
11. Israel is not only lucky
Ilana   (07.17.09)
it is efficient or at least much more efficient than Gaza, in protecting its citizens. We keep our kids at home in a shelter or nearby one,while they send their kids out as shields or outright rocket projectors from inside civilian facilities. What did we pull out for? It worsened the situation for us and for them so we should our lesson!! And so should the world.

Your questions are as idiotic as can be. What you are asking hypothetiucally has already happened many times over, and this is the reason that your people are not entitled to feel safe.
