By Micah Halpern
Thursday June 12, 2014 I've Been Thinking: Israel retaliated for rocket fire from Gaza by launching an air strike. The strike killed Mohamed Ahmed Alarur. Alarur was the head of a network that launched rockets into Israel. Since January, 140 rockets have been shot into Israel from Gaza. This week's renewal of rocket attacks forced Israel to act. United States State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki responded to the situation by saying that "Abbas' ability to prevent attacks from the Gaza Strip is limited at this stage." Abbas condemned the rocket attack into Israel and called on Hamas to respect the ceasefire. But the State Department spokesperson is correct - there is only so much Abbas can do. That is why Israel launched their airstrike. Scrambling fighter jets to kill one person seems like overkill. Actually, that is the reason only one person died. Israel launched a surgical strike targeting a single person - the leader responsible for the rocket fire, namely, Mohamed Ahmed Alarur. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
