#1 Proper response is to nuke the shit out of launching sites and storage.

#2 South Lebanon aint that big. Surely the Isrealis can find enough to set their highly flammable propellant ablaze. Hizd is too stretched in Syria to seriously respond.

#4 Sun Tzu - Do what your enemy least expects you to do.

Except commit suicide. That would be dumb. Apparently 0bean didn't can't infer that.

#7 Pretty straightforward to examine 10 years of overheads for excavation, construction, utility upgrades and debris piles to localize the search (targeting).

#8 Pity Israel doesn't have a railgun. It would be a good way to destroy missiles in underground bunkers. With the PR bonus, it wouldn't cause much surface damage.

#9 phil_b is right. The area where these things can be launched from is about 300 square miles. FM-100-2.1 page 136 (https://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm100-2-1.pdf) says that a Russian 152mm howitzer battery can suppress a square mile with about 4000 rounds. The Israeli 155mm artillery is probably similar. So, with a million 155 rounds, Israel can cover the whole area. They have 900 of these howitzers that fire 2 rounds a minute sustained, so it would take about 12 hours to clear south Lebanon with just this one of many weapon systems available to the IDF.

If I were there, I would stock at least 14 million rounds to hedge against that contingency; so, I could begin every sunrise and every sunset with a complete barrage for a week, which would cost less than $5 billion. (iron dome has cost about the same amount, and buying both over the course of a decade would be wise.)

#10 Ditto everywhere ala US = OWG Globalist-created "Co-Superpowers".

US-created, US-styled, + US-par.

"PAR" WID THE "WEAK-N-DECLINING", FORMER POST-COLD WAR/SOVIET "SOLE" SUPERPOWER US, N-O-T INFERIOR TO THE US.

WHY YES, I'M INCLUDING BUT LIMITED TO IRAN, + Russia, China, .... ... @etal. TO COME???
