What hudna? Iron Dome intercepts 3 incoming projectiles overnight as IDF strikes Gaza
2018-06-03
So much for the hudna Egypt worked so hard to impose — as the Gazans restart their uneven tit for tat with Israel
[IsraelTimes] Sirens blare in southern Israel throughout night, sending thousands of Israelis to bomb shelters; one rocket said to land in open area

The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted three projectiles fired at southern Israel by terrorist groups in the Gazoo Strip, with another apparently landing in Israeli territory, in four separate attacks in the predawn hours of Sunday, the army said.

Thousands of Israelis were sent rushing to bomb shelters throughout the night as sirens were repeatedly triggered to warn them of incoming fire.

#4  How many times have we seen the 'all sides but one terrorist sign hudna' ploy?
'Disproportionate response' is appropriate when dealing with Perfidious Opponents -- they are going to lie, they are going to cheat. The only tactic is to make them Fear your (à la the Mongols) response.

#3  From a game theory perspective, Disproportional Response is just a variation of Tit For Tat that signals to your opponent you are very displeased with his choice. Last thing you want is failure to communicate, right?

#2  Disproportionate response makes perfect sense when religious nuts are trying to kill you.
