Quote:Into the early hours of Wednesday morning, Gazans reported their homes shaking and the sky lighting up with Israeli attacks,
outgoing rockets fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad,and Israeli air defence missiles intercepting them.
.....
The International Committee of the Red Cross urged all sides to step back, and reminded them of the requirement in international law to try to avoid civilian casualties.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad, are targeting Israeli civilians living in civilian areas, within Israel proper,
with rockets which are being launched by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, from within civilian areas in Gaza.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad need to cease and stop these rocket attacks [coming from Gaza] !
And if they will not, then Israel has a natural right to, itself, stop these rocket attacks, even if they are being launched from within civilian areas in Gaza.
Israel can accomplish this [stop the rocket attacks which are targeting Israeli civilians in Israel], and Israel should to act, to do this.
Israel can't allow its own civilians to be targeted and killed, by Hamas and Islamic Jihad rockets,
without consequence to any Gazan's.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders, are the persons who will be responsible for any casualties, within Gaza.
We can predict, that many international actors will blame Israel for all of the casualties in this conflict.
But Israel must act in its own self defence.
And Israel has a right, to prevent and stop these rocket attacks,
EVEN IF THE ROCKET ATTACKS ORIGINATE FROM WITHIN CIVILIAN AREAS OF GAZA.
