I've Been Thinking:Hamas broke through the glass ceiling.
Hamas shot two Fajr-5 missiles at Tel Aviv. The rockets aimed at
Tel Aviv were fired only a short two hours after they fired at the
city of Rishon LeZion. Be'r Sheba, the capital of the Negev, was also the target of numerous attacks.
In all, nearly 500 rockets and missiles were shot from Gaza into Israel since Wednesday.
Israel will not take this sitting down. The Israelis have already responded to an earlier onslaught of rocket attacks by successfully targeting and assassinating Hamas military leader and strategist Ahmad Jabari.
This barrage by Hamas seems to be a response to that planned hit.
The cycle continues.
Israel has called-up tens of thousands of reserves. But this battle is most likely to take place in the skies over Gaza. Hamas and Gaza are not the same as Hezbollah and Lebanon.
It would not be wise for Israel to enter Gaza and launch a land offensive at this time.
