Important Info from the IDF
By Micah Halpern

Sunday May 20, 2007

I've Been Thinking:

When the Israeli Army, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), sends out an update from the field it is a sure bet that they have important information to impart.
The reports are very short and to the point.

Last night I received an IDF update:
17 Kassam rockets shot from Gaza fell into Israel on Saturday.
Over the past 4 days 110 rockets were shot and fell in Israel.

The idea is very hard to fathom.
Do the math - Hamas is lobbing an average 27.5 rockets per day into Israel.

Israel has only now begun to respond and even that response is minimal.
The Palestinian rockets are small, launchers are smaller, portable and leave no trace. Within seconds the launchers are up and gone.

Hamas has pledged not to stop until Israel puts a stop to retaliatory aerial raids.
To quote from the movie Cool Hand Luke:
"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

The hard cold reality is that the only response that will stop the rockets is to wipe out Hamas and Israel is not willing to go that route.
At least, not yet.
