An Unfortified City

Hamas has forced Israel's hand by firing missiles into the environs of Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is a densely populated city that lacks the number of shelters and reinforced bombproof rooms that towns closer to Gaza have. The IDF must up its level of aggression to tamp down the fire from Gaza before a mass casualty event befalls the Jewish State, and Israel can not allow normal life in her largest city to be disrupted. Hamas has declared "the gates of hell opened". Hamas has indeed opened this portal on themselves.
