#2 "The explosives were detonated by sappers in a controlled explosion."

I hope they didn't bother to remove the belt first.

#4 Tuesday, the Hamas terror group formerly took its place at the head of the Palestinian Authority and vocalized its intentions to create an Islamist regime that would sponsor and encourage terror attacks
I presume that EU money is still flowing into the PA. Doesn't that make them complicit in attacks on Irael?

Whatever crop was being grown in those fields is going to be either charred or filled with bits of shrapnel. It's a message to people who host rocket attacks - do it, and your property is toast.

#7 Last time I checked (5 minutes ago) Israel's surface combatants consisted of patrol boats and the largest bore gun on any of them is a 3" automatic cannon.

#10 The missing link here is observation. If the Israelis would just use some method of spotting that would place the firing areas under observation, they could fire first, before the Paleos had set up their rocket. This is especially true since the Paleos are firing from open areas, not from within clusters of buildings.

In past, I've suggested inexpensive tethered balloons with video cameras on them. They could not only spot, but calculate a GPS coordinate for the fire control.

Best of all, the Israelis would have video evidence of the baddies setting up their toys, when next the snivellers complained that they were shelling civilians.
