I disagree with the Palestinians firing rockets at both tactical and civilian targets........That is BS!
I would say the Palestinians didn't have a clue where the rockets would land, they point it in the general direction chant Allahu Akbar many times and hope Allah guides it for a bit of itbach el yahud.
The Israeli Defence Force is the only military in the area with any balls,they are picking off targets in Syria as muslims enjoy another civil war there.
The Jews are deadly accurate with what they fire,most of the optics in precision weapons are from Israeli technology.
We use the Israeli Litening targeting pod on our FA18,The USA use them as do many other countries.

The USA,Australia,UK and many others use Israeli military technology, the colonoscopy and pill cameras used in hospitals were made by the same company.
Oh, I totally agree. Hamas doesn't care where the rockets actually impact. As long as it kills someone, they'll fire them all day.
My point is, they quite willingly risk retaliation from Israel that is specifically aimed at legitimate military targets, even though such reactions might incur 'collateral damage'. They're quite willing to cop a civilian loss, it makes for good propaganda.
They fight a terrorist war and have the hide to bleat when they incur a few casualties.
Truth be told, they themselves probably blow each other away even more often than the Israelis do.
They should be thankful that they don't have to deal with Golda, though Netanyahu should not be pushed too hard.
Given the lack of 'sack' in Washington these days, Israel might be less inclined to be restrained by US opinion - and that could prove dangerous for trespassers.
