The ID can shoot down only so many targets. If 5 are incoming and there are only 3 batteries, there may only be 2 or 3 shot down

Interesting...

Also, if you haven’t heard yet, there is a new IOS app (iPhone, iPad) called Red Alert that alerts you when the sirens go off in Israel. I had to put my phone in do not disturb mode last night just to keep it from waking me. The rockets began firing like clockwork at 8am Israeli time (1am ET) with at least 6 sirens going off in the first 8am hour.

Comment: "I got a taste of what Israel is going through last night. I downloaded the red alert app. and it was going off all night long and this morning (a real eye-opener)..."

From Benjamin Natanyahu:

On behalf of Israel's citizens, I thank all IDF soldiers and ISA personnel who are participating in the operation. #ProtectiveEdge

I ask that the public continue to listen to the instructions from IDF Home Front Command – they save lives.

The operation will be expanded and will continue until the firing at our communities stops and quiet is restored.

We are all united in the mission to strike at the terrorist organizations and restore quiet.

Our military is strong, the home front is steadfast and our people are united. This is our response to the terrorist orgs that attack us

Hamas will pay a heavy price for firing at Israel's citizens. The security of Israel's citizens is our primary consideration.

We decided to further increase the assault on Hamas and the terrorist orgs in Gaza. The IDF is prepared for all possibilities.

Wish it was available for Android phones.

The article had an answer for my question on the Iron Dome. It said, "Israel endured around 120 rocket attacks yesterday from Gaza, with Iron Dome intercepting 23 and letting the rest crash in open areas with no damage, according to..Israel National News."

So the majority of rockets didn't require them using the Iron Dome, thank God.

The terrorists often fire their rockets from Christian neighborhoods and then leave, so that the Israelites end up killing Christians.

Hadn't read that, but it certainly is plausible. Also, I think the human shields should be counted as being involved in the war. With the mentality of the region, I doubt these shields are uncooperative.
