I’ve been reading a lot of questions on how the IDF can locate Hamas and target mortar and rocket sites so quickly. The answer is simple really. Israel has one of the most sophisticated UAV, UCAV, and network battlefield systems in the world and they know how to use it. There is not a square inch of Gaza that isn’t under constant hi-resolution surveillance by a wide variety of hi-tech sensors that instantly relay the launch point of anything fired at them to the artillery, airforce pilots, and tank commanders who can fire back with precision within seconds. The ground troops also are networked into the same system and know what’s around the corner before they have to stick their heads out. Modern military technology like this gives Hamas no place to hide or run. You might want to elaborate on this for the benefit of your viewers.

Do anyone think that this is a just and equal fight? Israeli’s tanks and depleted Uranium bombs verses civilian, no mater what they religion and nationalities.

It is sad that it came down to Israel having to go on the ground into Gaza and fight Hamas. But seeing that they wouldn’t stop lobbing rockets into Israel what choice was there? You can only take so much and not have people run over you!

I’m sorry though that many civilians in Gaza are being killed. But unfortunately that’s one of the side effects, if you will, of war!

I hope no one was injured in Israel where Anderson showed where the rocket hit in the market place. It didn’t look all that bad really but the spraying of the shrapnel did though. Hey…at least that gave Coop something to do over there besides sit on a hill! LOL

Cindy…Ga.

Terrible. As long as Israel goes to war they will never know peace or security. Every child affected by this war in Gaza will likely be recruited by Hamas and become a future terrorist.

The only way to rid the world of terrorists, is to sit at the table with Hamas & Israel and find a way to a JUST peace.

People need a homeland. Its so hypocritical of conservatives support Israel while it kills countless civilians….. children, not to mention those maimed! And know that these same conservative claim to ‘value life’!
