I've Been Thinking:

Once again, Hamas issued a warning to Israel.

If Israel continues to clash with Arabs in the Sheik Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem, Hamas warned, there will be a repeat of last year’s mini war with Gaza.

According to the terror group: "Israel will pay the price for its actions and the attempts to expel the residents of Sheikh Jarrah … The resistance has threatened Israel in the past and also faced the threat. The 'Guardian of the Wall' campaign began from Jerusalem and spread to the West Bank and into Israeli cities. We will not hesitate to begin such a campaign again."

This is not an empty threat - but it is not totally realistic either.

There are many factors to be considered before conflict with Gaza erupts. One part of the calculus of is when and how Israel responds to the attacks from Gaza. Another is how dramatic rocket strikes are and the intensiveness of the attacks.

Finally, there is the question of Israeli casualties. Israeli leadership will not stand idly by when Israelis are injured or killed.
