And who began firing rockets from Gaza? "Not Hamas"? I'm not trying to establish order of events here. Just baiting you to acknowledge a factual detail first.

Not Hamas. Hamas have been acting as Israel's extended defence force in the area for the past 18 months, since the cease-fire - actively preventing jihadist groups from carrying out strikes.

Israel's heavy-handed response to the "missing" (when in fact they already knew they were dead) children is what precipitated this.

Hamas started rocket salvos, and acknowledged such, when the airstrikes began in earnest.

Isn't it amazing how they can enforce a ceasefire when they want to, and turn a blind eye to other groups when it suits them...
