Israel Finally Retaliates Against Hamas Missile Attacks
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - Israel on Wednesday launched retaliatory airstrikes on Hamas commanders and weapons storage sites. The strikes were in response to the latest rocket fire from Gaza launched willy-nilly into southern Israel. Hamas has escalated its assaults, and in recent days the number of missile and mortar attacks has run into the dozens. One of the Israeli strikes killed Ahmed Jabari, the chief of Hamas' military arm who is believed to be responsible for kidnapping Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. The Obama Administration needs to give Israel the material and diplomatic support to defend itself.
