A full push, orderly and organized to the Litani River is needed, I think you will see this consensus develop now.. Is there time? Israel must make time and this touches on leadership again.

Today’s heart wrenching rocket attack hit a squad of reserve unit paratroopers (EDIT: Some tzanhani, mostly gunners called up 24 hours earlier.. oy), the reserves are often a bit older, with families & children, the mood in Israel is one of rage?over these rockets, this was a tragedy of epic proportions for Israel and I am consumed by sadness.

Update: From Ynet on the tragedy

YNET: [...] The soldiers congregated in an open field near the Tel Hai cemetery, 200 meters from the kibbutz’s entrance.

The soldiers had arrived at the meeting point in trucks laden with ammunitions and equipment.

Around 12:20 pm a rocket barrage was fired from Lebanon and one rocket scored a direct hit in the meeting point.

Paramedics who took part in the evacuation efforts spoke of horrific scenes.

“Never saw anything like that’

A reserve military doctor who treated some of the injured said: “One of the soldiers I treated said he heard the explosion and ran in shock to check if his friends are ok. He found the bodies of two of his friends. He was shocked and suffered a nervous breakdown from the difficult sight. The first hours of shock victims are most critical and I hope he overcomes this.”

Eli Peretz, was one of the first paramedics to arrive at the scene: “We…saw very difficult sights. A whole group was injured some very seriously. The lightly injured ran in all directions. We transferred the seriously injured by helicopter to hospitals in Haifa…I never saw a more difficult incident.” [...]

I cannot believe that 24 days into the war, the North is still under relentless rocket and missile attack.  There should be no ground left to fire Katushas from and nailing Fajr-5 launchers AFTER they have done their damage is hardly a victory. I cannot imagine a Netanyahu-run war going this way.  I fear for Israel in the years ahead if decisive, crushing action is not forthcoming soonest.
