This is such a sad thread. The Israeli military (and not only) posseses the technology for the effective counter battery fire. Meaning, as soon as the rocket is fired, the Israelis can fire back at the launch site and destroy it and everything around it- almost 100% guaranteed. Yet, they have no done so and only fire at confirmed targets connected to the terrorists or with terrorists present- a much harder task. They keep screaming about the poor Palestinians dying as a result. I can't help but imagine what the Russians or the Americans would do to their neighbors had they started pelting their countries with rockets...and I shiver. It also might be the Israel's Achilles heel- the terrorists know that Israel cares about the Arab lives more than they do and it just emboldens them.
