I think I've heard this tune before... let's see if I can remember the lyrics; a rocket is fired into northern Israel from Lebanon, either by Lebanese Palestinian sympathizers or Hamas, Israel relaliates with mortar and artillery strikes, leveling a couple of buildings, 50 more rockets are launched into northern Israel from Lebanon, the IDF mobilizes armored support for its troops and air strikes are called in, the U.N. starts crying foul, a fragile cease-fire is signed, and six to nine months of a teetering silence while U.N. diplomats talk middle-east peace talks before the song starts all over again, right? Don't think it's the end of the world, it's just another sad example of people who love hearing the same song over and over again.

Who cares about the cost? They can kill. Don't make it sound like nothing. If Canadians were firing rockets into the US and wouldn't stop, there would be airstrikes and tanks running up there.

Wow!!! You guys throw the term "false flag" around like they happen every day. Honestly, not everything is a false flag. People on all sides hate and most times have a decent reason to from their perspectives.

I'd say Israel agents fired 1 missile to use as excuse for retaliation.
if i was lebanon or hezbolla, id fire atleast 5000 missiles if i was going to fire any in the first place.
#ING ISRAEL, I HATE #ING ISRAEL AND THE ROTTEN ZIONISTS.

If America invaded Canada, started tearing down houses and replacing them with their own, restricting the supply of food, water and medicine, holding Canadians prisoner in the largest concentration camp ever seen on Earth, assassinating elected leaders in the street, killing and maiming hundreds, then I would expect Canada to fight with everything they had, and that includes firing rockets into America.
It's very easy to label groups as "terrorists", but when those groups represent a real moral stance, defending a larger group who ARE being persecuted and evicted from their own land, they are no longer terrorists, they're "the resistance".
No, firing rockets at innocent people isn't nice. But then neither is a government killing thousands in an effort to ethnically cleanse the land and steal it.

Sorry, I misread.

It wasn't any kind of missile. It was a rocket. You could probably make one like it in your garage.
I like what someone said earlier, confusing a rocket with a missile makes it sound like a much bigger deal than it really is. A rocket is just a rocket. Somebody fired it, it landed in the desert, hurt nobody, and destroyed nothing. Now Israel is shifting troops and flying jets and drones over Lebanon. I don't know how they put up with such crappy neighbors.
There has been serious instability in this region for decades, and this is like the fifth missile to strike Israel this year. Not a huge deal unless they take advantage of it for political means. And then everyone can fight about whether it's not a false flag while other people die for silly reasons...
