Here is a map based upon a satellite image of the area around Gaza. Check out the northern border of Gaza. Lots of buildings and stuff along the border. Tempting targets for Paleos with mortars or rockets. Israel better thump hard from the git go when the Paleos start firing.

#2 Love the map, AP. Notice how green the Israeli side is, and how brown the Gaza side is.

#3 Yes, Steve. Notice all the irrigation, even the big circular irrigated fields. Paleos have nothing. They depend upon Israeli water mains for their potable water. Pumped the Gaza wells saline. It seems that water would be a good weapon if the Paleos get too frisky with rockets and missiles. Bad PR, though. The MSM would be all over it. I say give the Paleos ample warning. They start terrorizing, shut off their spigot. No water, no terrorists.
