I can see going into Gaza, there being civilian casualties (real or faked), Israel then caves to international pressure and hands Hamas a huge moral victory. I actually think low key war of attrition is not a bad policy. Quick repeated strikes on a daily basis. Cut supply lines, reduce electric. Make them pay for each kassam. Go back to the old plan of breaking the sound barrier over Gaza every night. I say use collective punishment. Yes, thats right Amnesty, collective punishment. Its a great idea Make life 10000 times more miserable in Gaza than it is Sderot. At some point (it might take years) if Israel does not give in to international pressure, the Palestinians will finally give up on there genocidal dreams of glory.

Both his eardrums were blown out, he had shrapnel embedded in his arms and legs which were removed with surgery. He was burned on his face and arms. He was in the hospital for a week. He was lightly injured. Just to clarify about the level of wounded:

Enough lip service. Israel needs to slam them hard. How many years has Sderot been under fire? Enough lip service. Israel needs to slam them hard.
