What would you do if your country were attacked by 3500 rockets . What would you do if tunnels of terrorists were built to attack your citizens . I want you to expand on that. Well, i think were in a terrible conflict with a terrible enemy and we regret i personally regret and the people of israel regret every civilian casualty that we have. Israel does not target civilians. It targets the terrorists. But heres what the terrorists are doing. Terrorists like al qaeda and hezbollah and like isis and like boko haram, hamas is no different.
