BT : You have forgotten ,that the peace loving people of Gaza ,just loved to fire rockets into Israel. Attacks began in 2001. Since then (August 2014 data), almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel, all but a few thousand of them since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in August 2005. Hamas justified these as counter-attacks to the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
They have carried out more than one hundred suicide bombings, and dug dozens of terror tunnels into Israeli communities—all at the expense of the people of Gaza.

I bet you you dare not stay even 2-3 days in an Israeli settlement close to the border even though we have bomb shelters ,believe me its very scary ! ( I am near to the Lebanese border, so I know the experience) The range of missiles launched from Gaza Strip or from Lebanon (10-160 km).
