Israeli Counterattacks Target Hamas Infrastructure, Terrorists (Plus: Israel Called Off Massive Strike To Wipe Out Hamas In 2003 - Guess Why!)

There is a limit to how many Palestinian war crimes over how long a period Israel is willing to bear. There are again Lebanon II-like murmurs floating through the Israeli press about how the Israeli government is direction-less, but the IDF seems to be finding at least some of their targets:

Israeli missiles hit a Hamas installation in Gaza City on Saturday, and doctors said at least one person was killed and four were wounded. Hamas reported that two of its members were killed.Another air strike hit a Hamas training camp on the outskirts of Shati refugee camp. There were no reports of casualties.

Incidentally, that first link goes to a story about how Israel could have decapitated Hamas in 2003. Israeli intelligence learned that a terror summit of Hamas leaders was planned, drones confirmed that the entire leadership was in the house on the right day, and the green light was given. The IDF held back from using a bomb that would have collapsed the house - and thus allowed the leadership to walk away - because of... fear of civilian casualties.
