The warnings fell on Gaza Thursday, the day after Israel began its Pillar of Defense, a retaliation to Hamas’ ongoing rocket strikes to Israel’s southern region. The airstrike has killed 15 so far, including a Hamas military commander.

Palestine and Israel are not two equals who need to “sort it out” - Another brutal war is looming on a Gazan population in which 50% are under 18 yrs old. Shame on all those supporting the apartheid state of israel!

Thank you very much for showing how hard Israel tries to save every innocent life. The Israeli fatality rate is so low because citizens are protected by the government as a first priority, unlike Hamas, who often uses their families as human shields.

As someone who has had to live under the rocket fire of Hamas I can tell you that it’s no easy task. Comforting crying friends whilst waiting for the inevitable boom of the Iron Dome defensive shield or waiting for the ground to shake which signified rockets hitting streets or houses. It was a frightening time in my life. This operation is a necessity to ensure the peace and quiet of Southern Israel.

@ benjil2 Ur response illustrates quite nicely how emotive an issue this is, but I can’t help feeling that you have missed, or are unwilling to acknowledge, a significant point. And that you are not alone. And indiscriminate death will follow.

@alex wellman, I am. Over 12,000 rockets have been fired on Israeli civilians. Over 25% of your Israeli’s cannot shower because rocket alarms go off every 5 minutes. Israel has the definite right to protect and defend its population.

That’s a major difference here: Israel does not target civilians—they target Hamas. Hamas SPECIFICALLY targets soft targets in Israel. Could you ever imagine Hamas warning Israelis about a pending attack? Their entire modus operandi revolves around people being unprepared for an attack. It’s called TERRORISM.

You forgot to mention how “Hamas’ ongoing rocket strikes to Israel’s southern region” has already killed Israeli civilians as well……
