1. Israel instigated this
(11.12.18)
But, naturally, you don't see it.

It is inhumane what is happening in Gaza.

You think Torah is about this??
2. Why aren't armed drones flying over Gaza?
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.12.18)
How do so many rockets get launched without the launch teams first being noticed and targeted? I thought the IDF had dozens of drone operators who do nothing but fly over Gaza. Are they all on vacation?

Why aren't land-based versions of the Navy's Phalanx installed along the border? If Iron Dome doesn't intercept the rocket, another layer is needed. The LPWS (Land Phalanx Weapon System by Raytheon) is a hyper-speed radar controlled machine gun.) It's the last line of defense for every large Navy ship in the US Navy. The land version is necessary for protection of the south. Why hasn't already been installed? What in heck does the government do?

The damn systems could have been bought with all the money that went into private pockets on the submarine deal. THAT'S why everyone who gets convicted of bribery or kickbacks need to spend AT LEAST 10 years behind bars and have their government pensions revoked. You steal on government time, you forfeit your retirement payments. Simple law to enact.

Let me make this really clear to the IDF and the government:
1) Protecting civilian and military lives are your most important duties.
2) Not having an installed Phalanx-type system in place is dereliction of duty.
3) Rambo-type missions are for the movies; let the technology do the work.
3. IAF responds
Ralph   (11.12.18)
What did you hit. A bunch of empty buildings and a warehouse.
4. Don't give Gaza ceasefire break.Continue hitting them.
Sam ,   Montreal   (11.12.18)
After being hit for extended period Gazans become less courageous. Israel is always letting them off the hook.
5. turn off the water
mrosey43   (11.12.18)
just turn off the fresh water supply to gaza for a few weeks and see what happens
6. mow the lawn and eradicte the weed!
(11.12.18)
turn gaza into an empty flat parking lot.
7. Bibi is trying to win a PR campign
Bar Star ,   Jerusalem   (11.12.18)
instead of winning a war. Israel will loose both. Their civilian population must be hit till they loose a desire for a revenge. They should get as much warning as Israelis.
8. OF COURSE, NOT
Robert ,   Israel   (11.12.18)
Hamas has already fired over one hundred missiles. Where those rockets specially directed to Israeli military targets?, OF COURSE NOT. So why do we shoot at seventy "specific targets"? Our civilian people are not safe because Hamas intends to harm as many of us as they can. Do we need to respect their civilians?.
9. A volley of 200 rockets
Cameron   (11.12.18)
No one else on the planet would put up with this evil routine but Israel.

You waiting for that truly catastrophic hit with civilian casualties galore?
10. Evil never gives up so appeasing evil is self destructive
(11.12.18)
11. The only solution is to retake Gaza permanently
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.12.18)
We NEVER had this kind of pain and misery, from Gaza, till our mad retreat from Gaza. And it will never end till we end the root cause. As a nation, we need to admit we made a huge mistake and remedy it. The only solution is to retake Gaza permanently. This applies equally to our South Lebanon Security Zone and every part of Judea and Samaria we insanely fled. Israeli retreats and concessions are the root cause of virtually all our serious problems.
12. IDF was given Green Light. That's not much damage.
Sam ,   Montreal   (11.12.18)
70 targets hit is less than prior reprisals.
13. NO DETERANCE LEFT!!!!
JL ,   USA   (11.12.18)
GREAT 70 MORE EMPTY BUILDINGS HIT. USELESS RESPONSE FROM TIMID AND USELESS ISRAELI POLITITIANS!!!!!!!!
14. Eisencot still plays footsie with terrorists,his "scruples"
ab   (11.12.18)
wont let him otherwise.Why is this slob still kept _
15. IAF strikes 70 targets
lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (11.12.18)
Hezbollah in Lebanon is taking note of the rather pathetic response by the IDF.
If 200 missiles from Gaza have managed to hit buildings within Israel, what is the potential for the 10s of thousands held by Nasrallah.
The Israeli response of containment of Gaza merely encourages the belief by the Arabs that Israel is doing all and everything to avoid what needs to be done...the total eradication of the pustule that is Gaza and then and only then will decide it will not antagoni the IDF.se
16. What is Netanyahu trying to do
C   (11.12.18)
there will never be a cease fire with islamic terrorists.
so what is the end game.
will israel become the playground of the islamic terrorists.
will the population become enslaved.
does netanyahu really believe that so called diplomacy will replace
the force of arms when the nation is under existential threat.
17. sinwar
geroge   (11.12.18)
sinwar is makes bibi and Lieberman look like fools. collecting millions, firing rockets, neutralizing idf raids, while bibi avoids war at any cost. in the meantime, Lieberman says he raised it at cabinet but he was outvoted. time and again he says this.


Lieberman will not be defense minister in the next govt. he seems out of his depth. Bennett will either be pm or defense minister.
18. Incredible negligence of bus driver
Jake ,   Dallas   (11.13.18)
Parking in front of the trees with a clear view from Gaza?
19. Officialy Syria is busy in S Golan fighting ISIS (news rep)
Alan ,   SA   (11.13.18)
Unofficially I believe they and Hez and Russian Airforce are positioned to attack in North once the fighting in Gaza gets really going .IE 2X fronts. So watch out
20. This is what happens....
DSM ,   USA   (11.13.18)
when you show you are soft to an enemy like Hamas. Like times before the IDF will bomb some targets and then get reigned in by Bibi and his administration. Israel no longer has the will to get tough and thoroughly defeat Hamas and the leaders of Hamas and their sponsors know it.
21. When will Israeli's rise up?
Scott Daniels ,   USA   (11.13.18)
Not just against Hamas, but also against Bibi and his government. If Israel does nothing governments around the world will be pleased that Jews are being killed and if Israel actually gets tough, and that means bombing civilian populations, those same world leaders will denounce Israel. Since no matter what Israel does it is a no win situation, the administration must realize it's first duty is to defend the country and citizens with enough force as to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy.
22. gaza
Adrianus ,   seagrove   (11.12.18)
Hamas must be nuts to start this up ,it only is going to hurt them on every front
the only thing I can see is that Abbas is instigating this so he can put more blame at the UN for this attack make no sense at all , I know what most of you will say when did the PA ever made sense I do agree on this
23. Treason is aiding the enemy in times of war. Hello gov.....
(11.13.18)
24. Hitting targets not doing it.Time to go after Hamas fighters
Sam ,   Montreal   (11.13.18)
Hamas randomly trying to kill any Jew with their rockets. Eisencott and the IDF should stop crying for Hamas fighters.
25. My youngest was just called up ..he is in the tanks..
Al   (11.13.18)
The situation is dire..war is inevitable.

POOR leadership both politically and militarily is leading Israel to catastrophe.

I can only pray..at times my heart sinks in despair.

I ask all those who love Israel to set aside their political differences and stand with Israel at this most trying time.

Political BS and intrigue is over.

ISRAEL has to unite in a national unity government.

The country must stand United against this existential threat.

26. "special force" carried out "a very meaningful operation to
Ken   (11.13.18)
Israel's security," yeah starting a war.
27. Israel starts another war, one step forward,two backwards
Ken   (11.13.18)
The military provided few details about Sunday's raid. The Israeli military chief, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, said a "special force" carried out "a very meaningful operation to Israel's security," without elaborating.

The Operation was to start a war.
28. moishe rabeynu
moishe   (11.13.18)
why aren't Israelis allowed to fire at least 300 rockets back at Gaza??????? and what happened to the peace deal Egypt brokered? air strikes don't seem to work.
it is about time Israel leaders admit that you can't make peace with a people that want to kill you and won't stop till every last Jew is gone in Israel. treat your enemy accordingly.
29. War justify by fake offense, the western MO
(11.13.18)
30. 300 Rockets where is the proof, 70 Targets really....
NYNY   (11.13.18)
these numbers are taken not from reality but because they are significant mythologically and in numerology.
