The IDF has begun Operation Protective Edge in response to the intense escalation of rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel.
Dave Cottrell’s insight:
“Since Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012, Hamas has continued to arm itself with vast amounts of weaponry and is currently in possession of 10,000 rockets. Hamas deliberately and systematically exploits Palestinians and uses them as human shields when firing at Israel. Over 3.5 million Israelis are currently living under the threat of rocket attacks. No nation would accept this reality.”
