in tel aviv and jerusalem because of the on slaught of these missiles. we would probably provide air attack to assist them knock out the batteries and stockpiles. heather: i began this conversation with the potential for the cease-fire to not hold. do you think a ground war could escalate into the situation we are talking about? i would imagine if we had a major attack they would probably go into gaza in a ground war. they didn t have to do it this time. while there was some pressure on. the iron dome system was so successful they only had a handful of casualty. the initial reports indicated people outside the bunker system. their self-defense system worked. the people even though they had to go into those bunker systems in the southern cities on average 21 times a day, the people were not complaining about it and they endured in that system and have confidence
