Earlier this evening- Code red in Sderot

[Lipush]

Earlier this evening, Code red alert triggered in Sderot, at least two rocket launched and fell inside the city, one hit a school, and the other, a plastic worksite. Major blaze covers the area.

Thankfully, miraculously, no casualties in either sites.

Fire covers Sderot and spreads to close worksites. No control gained over fire.

MDA is on high alert all over south.

3 missing civilians in the burning worksite, 4 others escaped the flames, and one is hospitalisized.

Pray for Sderot

Sderot's citizens have my thoughts and prayers.

TOO DAMN PATIENT, and that is the problem. All well and good letting the Palestinians fire rockets and telling them you will retaliate, when you do it looks like it is disproportionate to the attack that day by the Palestinians. Now if you return fire with immediate effect the Palestinians lose the sympathy vote and are knocked of their pedestals. This means Israel is seen as the defender and not the aggressor, and public sympathy will be with Israel. The Palestinians will lose everything they have gained when Israel responds with speed and proportionate fire. One rocket for one rocket, and in this case targeting a school and a place of work. Those that fall on uninhabited land to have dummies returned that also land on uninhabited land, show the world that the Israeli ARMY HAS THE CAPABILITY OF PIN POINT ACCURACY and can hit every rocket launch site within seconds of them being used.
