That's how this was all set off. Israel attacked Hamas - guys Hamas had sent out to stop rocket attacks.



Some more:



Same thing happened in 2012 with Jabari, he was days away from drafting a long term cease fire with Israel, had abandoned violence and was the go to guy for making sure other factions don't fire at Israel. So Israel killed him.

You can accept the lies told to you on the news that Israel is protecting themselves from rocket fire but that simply isn't true. You can believe the lies that Hamas is firing at civilians but again that simply isn't true. Israel has been killing the civilians - Hamas has killed 3 civilians out of 46 deaths, and one of them was in a military camp.

Some will tell you that the Iron Dome is the reason more aren't dying but go look at the statistics of the Iron Dome. That thing changed nothing. The same amount of rockets were fired, the same amount of deaths. Hamas had plenty of opportunity to go in through their tunnels and kill civilians but they didn't, they used them against the Israeli military exclusively.

So keep on believing whatever you want but know that the facts are that Israel started this, Israel didn't start this because of rocket attacks but rather because of the unity government that had been formed and the threat to Israel that is true peace with the Palestinians.
