Qassam strikes near southern Israel home

[oberliner]

A rocket landed and exploded right outside a family home in a community located in the western Negev region overnight on Friday. No casualties were reported as a result of the rocket, but the family home suffered considerable damage.

No government-mandated specially-reinforced rooms which help protect a home's residents from rocket attacks have yet been built in the community in which the rocket fell. A second rocket fell in an open field nearby, causing no damage to people or property.

Cross-border tensions between Israel and Gaza have been escalating recently, the latest being two Grad rockets and a Qassam fired at southern Israel from Gaza on Thursday. One of the rockets struck north of Ashdod and could be heard in Yavneh, some 25 kilometers from Tel Aviv.

The rocket attacks came hours after Defense Minister Ehud Barak and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz announced the activation of the Iron Dome defense system in the south of the country. Barak said he approved the deployment of the system as an operational experiment and the IDF has said it will be operational in a few days.

1. So what should Israel do now ?

What do you think they should do?
Its a tough one,but I do not think they should sit back and take it.
Maybe the Hamas is trying to get in before Israel deplores its much anticipated missile defense shield?
Either way ,there is no country in the world that would tolerate this.
ZERO tolerance.
