Overnight, 45 rockets were launched toward Israeli territory. Civilians in southern Israel have 15 seconds to get to shelter in time. Would you make it?

We did not hear of 45 rocket raining on Israeli children. We can hear immediately if one rocket hurled at Hamas rocket-launchers in retaliation.
The Air Force responded by hitting 25 Hamas targets in Gaza. Pinpoint, trivial. No injuries.
Sorry to say, Ynet – a Hate-Bibi, Hate-Likud Israeli paper – gets it right:
Israel’s defense establishment is abandoning the southern residents
Op-ed: The government’s reluctance to respond to the incendiary kite-flyers with lethal force highlights yet another example of southern residents being expected to accept their beleaguered existence. It reflects characteristic pandering to the international community and an irrational fear of a military escalation. The search for a technological solution in the form of drones only demonstrates Israel’s resignation to the notion that the threat of dozens of daily blazes will forever continue.

This isn’t good.
