#2 I still suggest that unless the national government of Israel protects Sderot, than it should take steps to protect itself.

It should do so by purchasing a 105mm Howitzer, and when they are attacked with a rocket, they should fire a howitzer round "solely with the purpose of shooting down the incoming rocket."

And when they are confronted by those who claim that to be next to impossible, they can insist that "nevertheless, that is the intent of this defensive weapon," and point out, that it is the only defense they can afford as a small city.

Of course, in that the rounds from this 105mm gun would land in Gaza, while not intentional, that is not the fault of Sderot, but of the Gaza authorities that permit the firing of purely offensive rockets from their territory.

By international law, the citizens of the city of Sderot have the right to defend themselves with whatever weapons are at their disposal, if they are attacked in an aggressive and unprovoked manner.

#3 Time for disproportionate response: 100 155mm artillery shells for each rocket, 10 for each mortar round. Aim for major road intersections. When Gazans can't go anywhere except by foot, they won't cause so much trouble. Also start taking out the rest of their infrastructure - power plant, water treatment plant, ports and harbors, and anywhere in Gazan Rafah within 100 yards of the border.
