1. Strange how the "mistake rockets" found their way to T A
Alan ,   SA   (03.15.19)
not out to sea or to Sinai or Negev.Of 360 degree azimuth, the 2 rockets headed to Tel Aviv!. At least IAF hit 100 targets in exchange.A good deal.for a mistake
2. To talkbacker David Schutzberger : Opposite also possible.
barbara ,   Haifa   (03.15.19)
Hamas and Jihad Islam could also be denying rocket attack. They could be pretending they are innocent and then when Israel attacks (as it did) it could weep and beg to higher authorities (like UN) that Israel is the fiend. After all where did all the rocket launchers and rockets come from - if Hamas is so innocent?

Another subject - finance. Why are the people in such a financial state of poverty when Gaza received millions from Arab country?
3. IDF asses - Ynet: mistake or intentional ?
barbara ,   Haifa   (03.15.19)
4. Security Cabinet Meeting
Erich   (03.15.19)
In other words, give Hamas leaders time to hide so that the IAF can attack fake targets.

Another "great" job by the feckless Bibi and his leftist generals.
5. 100 sorties and NO casualties??
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.15.19)
Did the IDF announce, "Here we come!" on Gaza TV before the attack?

What the heck is wrong with the IDF 'intelligence' experts that can't find a target that is actually important?

Hello? Buildings don't attack Israel, terrorists do. Buildings can be rebuilt. A dead terrorist won't harm anyone.

I can imagine the IDF general staff discussion:

"Great job team! 100 sorties and no casualties!"
"You mean no Israeli casualties?"
"NO! I mean no terrorist casualties!"
"Wait a second. Aren't we charged with neutralizing the attackers?"
"Absolutely. We 'neutralized-without-harming' - our latest program."
"So we bomb empty buildings while the terrorists escape?"
"Exactly! Our generals are brilliant! We don't want to be seen as too mean."
"Do you think our 'kindness' will be repaid?"
"Well, no. I expect it will only increase because we are seen as cowards."
"And this is our new paradigm, to leave terrorists alive to attack again?"
"Er, um, well, ah, remember that we take our orders from the MKs."
"So who do we hold accountable when an Israeli is killed by rockets?"
"I'm not permitted to say. Top Secret. Next question?"
6. MISTAKE.!. 100 targets hit by IAF. Mistake.!.

OLEG ,   FLORIDA   (03.15.19)
9. More efforts towards"no casualties" than in really striking
ab   (03.15.19)
Hamas..
"IDF caught off guard"-and apparently proud of it , the same people still at the top
10. Fatherly concern and excuses for Hamas by inept IDF honchos,
ab   (03.15.19)
apt at analysis but hopeless at action
11. ABOUT HALF DONE "JOBS".
Robert ,   Israel   (03.15.19)
I suppose Israel is now going to wait until Gaza's terrorists shoot again in order to respond with more "enormous blasts that lift lots of powder into the air" (as it was written in this article). Another half done "job" for Israel.
12. Gaza terror heads need to be eliminated
C   (03.15.19)
none of the terror heads in gaza can be allowed to sleep at night.
13. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, must know that Israel will strike them
C   (03.15.19)
these savages think that they can disrupt israeli elections and european song
festival. how wrong they are.
14. NAVAL BASES BOMBED ARE YOU KIDDING ME SMELLS TO HIGH HEAVEN
oleg ,   florida   (03.15.19)
