#1 The farmers received instructions by cell phone regarding the number of rockets to launch and in what direction and range.

then they're not "farmers", are they? Call em hezb tools or paid tools, but the fact is they're firing rockets at civilian targets. Call them terrorists then call them dead. Kill em

#6 john, we do not share such detailed satellite-based high resolution data, even with Israel.
