| #8 How about shooting down the kassams with a howitzer. Sure, you might miss occasionally and the shell might accidently land somewhere in Gaza.... great idea.. in Fact How 'bout a Battery [Battalion] of 155s. All guns radar slaved to a single kassam... TOT. you might miss occasionally and the shells might accidently land somewhere in Gaza.... :) |

| #6 counter-battery - agreed, Badanov, and it should be in place NOW - I was only talking ABM |

| #5 the Gaza qassams have no electronics, TW. The are basically unguided rockets, too small to be worth ABM defense like the Patriots An artillery target acquistion unit and an artillery battery could quickly and effectively respond to the Kassams. |

| #2 A good thing indeed. Now Israel need only deploy a knock-off facing the Gaza strip, so the towns near the fence can have a bit of a break. |

| #1 More than meets the eye. X-band radar can also strongly interfere with both missile and warhead electronics. It is a high energy type radar on the end of the microwave band. |
