I've Been Thinking:

Hamas is escalating activity into Israel.
Over the past few days nearly 100 rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel.
On Wednesday and Thursday alone 82 rockets were shot into Israel, 51 of those rockets were aimed at Sderot.
The targets were educational centers and hospitals.

Hamas has added a new weapon to its arsenal against Israel, the GRAD Rocket.
The GRAD is a bigger rocket than the Qassam.
The GRAD is the most used rocket in the world, used by 50 countries.
The GRAD was originally Russian-made, but is now made all over the world.
So far,10 GRAD rockets were shot at Ashkelon, a city of 120,000 people.
The rockets were targeting the Barzalai Hospital Center.

Hamas is begging for Israel to retaliate.
And indeed, Israel began a series of air and ground attacks.
Israel even hit the empty house of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh who has been in hiding, anticipating this very attack.

This situation is not going away - at this point neither side can or will back down.
