Israel has hit a hospital in Gaza. There are no missiles there. Another, Oops?

A family of terrorists, no doubt. 120 militants that posed a risk to Israel should have been arrested with evidence to their crimes and not killed. If Israel justifies it's attacks by the number of killed militants, where does it stop when the dead are 3 innocent Palestinians to 1 militant. This is completely unacceptable. 

Israel did not need to enter Gaza to close tunnels and apprehend any militants coming through the tunnels. A tunnel has two ends.  Those two ends don't migrate to avoid monitoring and arrests. The Palestinian deaths is completely outrageous and unacceptable. Militants are better informants alive than dead. Where does it say being a militant requires a death sentence when all one has done is dig a lousy tunnel?

Where is the ambivalence or confusion in the words, "Ceasefire."
