And "making a fundamental strategic move" - looking back, we have seen several periods of drizzles and wars, but no fundamental strategic moves to stop the rocket fire. "Protective Edge" was supposed to postpone the next period of drizzles and the next war for some time. What would be the meaning of fundamental strategic move? To topple and crush Hamas and the others and establish a new regime in Gaza. Is is going to happen anytime soon? I don´t know. Maybe it will happen, one day. The current situation i Southern Israel, in the communities near Gaza, shows that Hamas has won some major battles and Zionism and Israel has suffered embarrassing defeats. It´s a dangerous and complicated situation.

WAR 2006 Lebanon War was brought on by the opportunity that Hezbollah saw a weak government that wasn't well established. Fast forward to today, there is general uncertainty by the Israeli public in the new government formed that will only be perceived as weakness by Israel's foes, making another war on one or even two fronts even more attractive.
