They are not lobbing bombs at isreal...they are lobbing bombs at their own land which is occupied.

last I checked, Israel was in its land, which predates the palestinians
It should also be noted that Israel seems to be more tolerant of the palestinians than other arab nations are. They're fenced in on both sides and it isn't the Israelis that shoot them for trying to cross the border.
Weak huh?Their radar managed to detect a small drone AND shoot it down is weak?Btw,there will never be peace as long as Hamas exists.

I think this reaffirms my earlier speculation
"DUBAI (Reuters) - The incursion by an unmanned aircraft into Israeli airspace at the weekend exposed the weakness of Israeli air defenses, an Iranian military official was quoted as saying on Monday."

you should note that the majority of the skirmishes and wars were a result of aggression from the other side and, given their aresnal and their capabilities, don't you think that, if they wanted to, they could push back much, much harder?
The problem in the middle east is simple. The jews aren't wanted and the muslim neighbors love poking them, to see what their reaction will be.
Israel is no angel. I had dinner with Ariel Sharon once and the things he was saying scared me. They showed the mindset that believed that war was inevitable and the only thing stopping it was time. But, in almost every single case, the first offense comes from the other side.
As mentioned, it's done to provoke Israel. They want a reaction. They want the Israelis to bomb their hideouts (you know, the places the rest of world calls schools, hospitals etc) By getting Israel to attack them as they hide behind children and the infirm, they get to show pictures of the maimed and killed and say "look what Israel did" and their news organizations leave out the number of hamas members hiding in that building.

It just doesn't make sense!
I believe the story but it's madness. Something very fishy is going on in the middle east.
First the report of Israel shooting down a drone. Then reports of Syria attacking Turkey and now this?!?
Something is wrong guys, it just isn't adding up.
