Hamas/IJ/AlAQ fire 60 Rockets/morters at Israel
2008-12-24
Nearly 60 rockets and mortar shells have been fired at the western Negev since midnight on Wednesdaty; 40 of them were launched after 9 A.M.

On Tuesday, senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar told the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram that "the Palestinians want to give a chance to the Egyptian mediators. Hamas is ready for a truce, if Israel sticks to the terms of the June agreement."
After which they'll rocket the Israelis in celebration ...

#12  "Israel should send back 60 155mm shells."

No, I would send back 60,000 small unguided rockets and mortars to the same areas that originated the attack, and no others. It would take about three times for one round out, one thousand back in, to the same neighborhood that originated the fire for the locals to tell the idiots launching the rockets to take a hike.

The locals have to experience the rounds going out and an overwhelming response in order to "get it".

#11  Old Patriot's target is more probably tonight.

The IAF has been given a list of targets that are considered Hamas assets and the Hamas HQ is probably on the list.

#10  Line up the Cat D9 pancake makers dozers wheel-to-wheel and proceed to dig that border moat trench. Then install those .30cal robot emplacements all along that trench. Turn them on and set to automatic. After a few dozen dead, they will stop.

#9  I agree with LBFR. Do that, problem is over. World will bitch, moan, complain--and accept. Meanwhile, nobody is going to think it's a wise idea to mess with you because they've seen the results of such a policy.

#7  Well, I would do a rolling thunder of the Gaza strip, then napalm the ruins. Then napalm it again.

However, some people might think that is excessive.

Tit-for-tat. Posted by: DarthVader

Darth, you left out a zero or two there. Should be 10:1, or 600 155mm shells. They should all target Hamass party headquarters. I'm sure Israel knows where that is.
