#1 the Palestinians were their missed launches to develop data for guidance systems

What? The Paleos don't got GPS?

#2 Even if this were not their plans, originally, they (both) be dumb to not take advantage of the opportunity.

But the Paleos never miss an opportunity ... to miss an opportunity.

#3 And here I thought they did it because they're a bunch of murderous, subnormal psychopaths who got accustomed to "progressive humanity" stopping Israel from really hurting them back.

#4 Hamas is drawing attention to themselves to get Israel to respond militarily and to continue the battle in the media and public opinion. Only this time it does not seem to be working. Hey, the playbook is getting in sore need of a major revision.

#5 "Inteligence" and "Hamas" in the same sentence?

#9 Lemuel,

I'm not sure if you are serious but Hamas has tried to overload Iron Dome several times. The problem is that, while they have a fair number of longer range missiles, they need special larger capacity launchers to fire them. Every time they use one of their larger capacity launchers they risk the IDF taking it out (Hamas has already lost several dozen of them already)

#10 I'm not sure if you are serious
