#1 The hardline Islamic Jihad movement claimed responsibility

As opposed to the 'moderate' movements of Fatah and Hamas...

#2 We are going to find ways to hit even harder against those who fire rockets, General Halutz told army radio.
Sorry if I'm being dense, but what about 155mm counter-battery fire? And NOT aimed at empty football fields.

#3 I'm all for calling in Napalm strikes on the rocket launch areas. Just have two jets loitering continuously near the area and when rockets are detected, strike the area. Might even get some AP pro-terrorist reporters too.

#6 The IDF special forces have knocked off about 40 Islamic Jihad members, enablers, etc. in the past few weeks without any losses (although a few apparently innocent Paleo civilians were hurt or killed). As long as this effort is as successful as it has been, no heavy airborne raids are considered to be required.

#7 Israel should annex another ten miles of the Gaza strip, and force all paleostains out under penalty of death. Build a new fence, a new wall, and recalibrate the artillery. Add an additional mile every time there's an Israeli casualty. If the casualty is from attacks from Lebanon, annex a mile of Lebanon. If they come from the "west bank", annex a mile of the west bank. Same for attacks from Syria. Sooner or later, the paleostains will get the message, or there will be no more paleos to argue, and Israel will have plenty of room and new borders to defend.

#8 . I very much hope that the (Palestinian) population understands that these organisations are provoking a catastrophe for them.
Nakbar alert!
