2005-12-04
After three Qassams were fired into Israel – two just short of Ashkelon – Israel informed the Palestinian Authority via the US that it would not longer tolerate these attacks.

#2  time to up the ante - big-time artillery response. Women and children killed? TFB. By using them as human shields, teh Paleos demonstrate how low they value their lives. Take them to hell with the rocket and mortars

#1  Until such time as Israel has a cost-effective anti-rocket/anti-mortar laser, which may not be too far off, the best bet would be to time-on-target any missile launching site.

This obviously can be countered in many ways by the Paleos, so that the artillery has little effect, unless Israel creates an inexpensive solution: small, unmanned, tethered, observation balloons.

Little more than a weather balloon with a zoomable video camera on it, and maybe a couple of battery powered fans to stabilize it.

The Israelis then can TOT any rocket site before they can launch, and actually plant the rounds more accurately, perhaps 10-digit accuracy, minimizing collateral damage.

The Paleos would probably try to surround their launchers with women and children, but the Israelis could just use the video tape to prove that it was the Paleos who were using them as shields.
