Half Hearted Response.

The IDF certainly has the means to bring about the unconditional surrender of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. However, they need the will and a willingness to take casualties in order to secure their military objectives. The recent Israeli response to the murder of an Israeli soldier by a Palestinian terrorist does not bode well for the future. The family home of the terrorist was promptly demolished, so far so good. However, instead of sending this family into exile, they were left to plan their next act of vengeance. Half hearted response if ever there was one.
