BT: I doubt they would see or hear it ,they hit them at night, and can fire from kilometers away, its all satellites and guided missile stuff.
With those F-35's overhead surely they sit 20-30 m underground in their dug outs?
Israel stands to gain nothing from military conflict in Gaza or a cycle of terror in Jerusalem and the West Bank. The tanks stationed along the Gaza border were there as a deterrence and not as a vanguard.
The problem is that there are many reasons for the recent escalation in violence and very few ways to prevent it from increasing further.
One reason is the elections for the Palestinian parliament scheduled for next month. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas decided to allow the elections to take place despite being advised by Jordan, Egypt the United States and Israel to postpone them, throwing Palestinian politics into a whirlwind.
The Hamas terror group - apparently correctly - surmises that it will win the elections, creating a lose-lose scenario for everyone else.
Another explanation for the rocket fire is the religious tensions prevailing during the month of Ramadan, triggering clashes between Jerusalem police and young Arab residents of East Jerusalem congregating at the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City at the end of the holiday fast and bringing Gazans into the streets in solidarity.
Finally, a TikTok challenge encouraging Palestinian youths to attack ultra-Orthodox Jews caused a wave of violence in the capital, compounded by the extreme right-wing Lehava movement joining the conflict, claiming they have come to the defense of Jews.
Unfortunately, Israel is not in control of the situation and is relying on Hamas to contain the violence.
The Gaza rulers relayed messages through Egypt, claiming that they were not responsible for the rockets launched over the weekend and that rogue factions were behind the fire.
Lehava,....is a Jewish far-right organization based in Israel that strictly opposes Jewish assimilation, objecting to most personal relationships between Jews and non-Jews. It is opposed to the Christian presence in Israel. It has an anti-miscegenation focus, denouncing marriages between Jews and non-Jews forbidden by Orthodox Jewish law. ''Its actions have been denounced by President of Israel Reuven Rivlin as being like "rodents gnawing under the shared democratic and Jewish foundation of Israel".
In January 2015, Channel 2 reported that Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon might be preparing to categorize Lehava as a terrorist organization. Ya'alon was reported to have ordered the Shin Bet and the Defense Ministry to assemble evidence required for the classification, although ultimately no such classification occurred. (They are just deluded idiots! )
