Attacking terrrorists hiding in civilian areas is legitimate self-defense. Targeting these terrorists is the right thing to do, even if it means wounding numerous civilians. Who knows how many Israelis these terrorists would have eventually killed, or injured, if left alone? After all, they were actively trying to kill, or injure, Israelis. Civilian casualties are unfortunate.
But, given the potential danger to Israelis from these individuals, the risk to Palestinian civilians from the strikes is justified. Israel does try minimize harm to civilians.
The same cannot be said for the Palestinians. It is their job to stop terrorists from operating in their residential areas, and endangering everyone around them. If they want to keep their people safe, they should arrest these terrorists themselves. It is not that complicated.
Weird, the word Jihad appears in the Quran over 41 different times. Which, you know, predates Saudi Arabia. Anything else you want to make up as a fact?
Unintentional collateral damage brought upon the Palestinians by the reckless Hamas terrorists who initiated this round of violence in hope they can get away with murdering more Israelis. Well, they were wrong.
Because civilians including children are dying from the response. If Canada were firing rockets into my backyard, I certainly wouldn't think slaughtering Canadian civilians would bring a stop to it, much less be a reasonable response when the number of casualties from their cobbled together rockets was as low as that of Palestinian rocket attacks.

We must support Israel at all cost!!!!
It is what God wants us to do! If the American people do not wake up and realize what is truly going on , we will all pay the price!!!
Bravo Israel, Bravo. I wish I could wake up to wonderful news like this every day.

The truth is that the Palestinians is a made-up nation invented to fight with Israel. These are Jordanian and Egyptian Arabs. Terrorists.
israel is the land of the jews, the reason its not simply called jewdea is complicated, but you have to admit that the jews are not a made up people. its the palestinians you cant see any historic relic of, there were only arabs in the middle ages.

Palestinian reaction:
The firing of Qassam rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel has been opposed by those living closest to the firing location due to Israeli military responses. On July 23, 2004 a family attempted to physically prevent the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades from setting up a Qassam rocket launcher outside their house. Members of the brigade shot one member of the family, an Arab boy, and wounded 5 others

I've seen them arcing across the sky coming towards me - I've seen Iron Dome shoot them out of the sky - I regularly hear and feel the explosions near my apartment - I've seen the aftermath where they impact. Don't try to tell me the are not real - I know better. And the number launched in the last few days is closer to 600...
