A Shift in the IDF's Response to Gaza Rocket Fire
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - There has been a significant shift in the pattern of the IDF's response to rocket fire from Gaza: Attrition will be met with attrition, escalation will be met with escalation. The IDF is attacking targets systematically with two goals in mind: hurting Hamas' military capabilities and infrastructure, and striking into its consciousness that Israel will not hesitate to harm it. The message is that if Hamas escalates the provocations against Israel, it will endanger the survival of its regime.
