#1 "The targeting of civilian houses is a violation of all red lines. Therefore the Zionist enemy will have to shoulder responsibility for the targeting by us of houses and Zionist buildings everywhere in occupied Palestine," the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamasâs military wing, said in a statement.

Instead of trying to kill civilians in public areas, now they're going to go after them in their homes? Not much difference from typical terrorist tactics, as far as I can see. But hey, go ahead and do that anyway, and when the IDF pours into Gaza and the West Bank, they'll finally perform the housecleaning that should have been done a long time ago.

#2 Hitting a civilian bus is as bad as hitting homes.
Hitting ringleaders in their homes is within
the bounds of morality.

#3 If Hamas attempts to escalate I figure we can soon see Gaza being wiped off the map.

Too bad for the Palestinians but they're the ones promoting suicide as a family value.

#4 So what are the rockets and mortars targetting from Gaza?

What I can't comprehend is why a majority of people can't see through this BS.

#5 According to this report, Hamas is squealing to the rest of the arab world for help. Seems the Israeli targetted assassination of Hamas leadership is hitting 'em where it hurts, and hard. Keep up the good work, IDF!

#8 I hear a lot of comments here and elsewhere that "Gaza will soon be wiped off the face..." or now Hamas has gone too far and soon the IDF will "kick ass"...

How I wish this were true, but after 2 years of watching Israel bleed from a thousand cuts, I don't believe she will ever do anything different. Proof in point, another attempted assissination of a Hamas leader, and they escape because of too small a bomb. WTF? Drop a 5000 pounder, kill off an entire city block. But MAKE YOUR POINT!! Kill the Bastards no matter what it takes. Otherwise you are seen as weak, and not serious...

No wonder the Arabs continue their strategy of attack, They see it as working.

Very tragic, I have such tremendous respect for what the Israelis have built in the desert. Why won't they do what's necessary to fix this?

TRANSFER or GENOCIDE.

#9 It would be the same thing as the Al Qaeda going too far on 911. If they bomb houses, they will be liquidated - especially Arabfart!

#10 Actually, an overwhelming majority of Americans see through this BS, Daniel. Every poll done for the last 10 years show "sympathy", i.e. support, for Palestinians has never been higher than 15 percent.

Most Americans aren't dumb.
