I've Been Thinking:
Hamas has some long range rockets. They received these rockets from Iran and Syria. Some are Russian made, some Chinese made and some produced in Iran.
These rockets are extremely dangerous for Israel - they have a range that puts 80% of Israel in the target zone.
But Hamas has many more short range rockets than long range.
Yesterday, one of Hamas' short range rockets never made it out of Gaza, Instead, it landed on a major electric power line in Northern Gaza and cut off the power to 70,000 Gazans living in Khan Younis and Deri el Balah.
The electric line now needs to be fixed. But it is the Israelis who need to go in and fix it because Gaza gets its electricity from Israel. But it is very dangerous task to undertake right now.
Prime Minister Netanyahu told the electric company not to endanger the lives of their workers in order to fix the line. He said wait until the situation quiets down. In other words, why jeopardize the lives of Israeli electric workers to fix what Hamas broke.
Hamas destroyed their own electric line while attempting to murder and terrorize Israelis. That should not guarantee them a repair call.

ReplyDeleteIf Israel cannot shot straight, and stop killing civilians , it will lose its own supporters . I support Israel's right to defend itself , but Israel has sophisticated weapons , but hits civilians all the time
I know Hamas uses them as shields , but you need to stop Hamas not kill civilians . You are not going to win this time, if you don't stop the civilian deaths
