Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

      That is, in fact, the only way to stop an ongoing violent act.

        You’re both right.

        What works is retaliating against the person or group that attacked you.

        What doesn’t work, and makes things worse, is “retaliating” against innocent people who didn’t attack you.

          So Hamas shouldn’t have retaliated against (murdered and kidnapped) innocent people who didn’t attack them (babies, the elderly and other Israeli citizens). Did I get it right?
