6  rockets per site is far from pointless.

Dudes used to set up one or two 107 rockets to fire at our FOBs all the
time.  Usually launched by timer or cell phone.

In a cell based resistance type organization they intentionally
decentralize supplies so you can't take everything out at once.

Not to mention the supply lines and command and control facilities are fair
game to.

Party of my thinking on this is that we have sanitized not just the
realities of war, but the philosophies of it as well.

Hamas as a governing body and a military force can not exist without the
explicit support and consent of the people of Gaza.  In war, real war; the
goal is politics by force.  Moving a border, changing a government,
stopping specific behavior, seizing resources and territory.  While the
military is used to carry out operations it is the will of the people that
the force carries out.

Therefore aren't these "innocent civilians" simply the support system
allowing Hamas to continue to attack?
