20. This is self defense, Chicago style --

"One of them pulls a knife, you pull a gun. They put one of yours in the hospital, you put one of theirs in the morgue."

Sean Connery, The Untouchables.

Only problem is, this isn't tit for tat between armed forces. The one side, using unreliable, unguided rockets, hits civilian targets. The other side, using reliable, well guided weapons, hits civilian targets with much greater efficiency.

Terror vs collective punishment.

Neither side is the good guys.
