      Too little and very late. Operation Amud Anan Part II, or Part III, or Part IV, or…

      This wrist slapping of jihadists fails first time, every time.

    Destruction must be proportional to the Palestinians GDP and the length of the Palestinians attacks.
    So the round calculation gives, for 3 months, 6 billions, and a proportionality answer coefficient of 10, the pay back damages should amount 15 billions or so.

    However, there is a point still unclear: why not spread the pay back equally between the two occupied territories of Gaza and West Bank?

    Non-Israeli sources report that the operation is a result of Hamas sniper fire that killed an IDF soldier. (A gag-order has been implemented on Israeli media).

      If true, is shows bad tactics. Sniper fire could only touch what’s in a straight line of view. With all the electronics, there is no need of this. But then, there is anti-snipers tactics. With 5000$ equipment from eBay I can build a mobile station to identify entrenched snipers on a front of 5 km (in Gaza conditions). Then, an Apache or an artillery mobile unit could take a sweep to clear the zone. Piece of cake!

      The whole trick is specifically not to take them all out, instead give them an apparent 10% loses by day and some false “missed”, as to keep them coming into the grinder. All annihilations and misses must happen only during the daylight, to induce the false idea of successful dark cover.

    Benyamin, it’s time to take of the kidd gloves. You do not want a war of attrition with a heartless people who give no value to their own civilians lives. Eradicate the roaches.

    …Another useless, impotent “convening” of IDF “security” leadership:
    Some security – a laughing stock for a bunch of masked two-legged rats from Gaza…
