Israel vs Hamas (Day Three)

Day three was more of the same as days one and two. Another Israeli civilian has died, and Israel looks to be preparing for a ground assault. Hamas has stepped up its rocket assaults from yesterday, but given the lack of likely current significant resupply, they have to be cutting into their stockpile. Israel may end up curtailing rocket attacks in the near term by forcing Hamas to use up their current supply of rockets. Not the most elegant way to do it, but to some extent it can not be helped. With no way to take out all the rockets at once, you take out what you can and have to accept the ones you miss may be fired at you. Still, better to bunker down for a few days being hit with a massive barrage then live with the daily stream of rockets attacks.
