Hamas fired 50 mortar shells into Israel over the weekend – two people injured and a home damaged. This isn’t really new; stuff is lobbed into Israel from Gaza all the time. What’s new is that Hamas admits to the attacks this time. As always, Hamas claims it is retaliating.

Israeli officials warned that they would not stand by and endure the kind of rocket barrage that occurred in 2006-08, and they threatened to launch another ground offensive if necessary.
What would we do?
