Operation Cast Lead is entering the problematic phase of any war: The
first, surprise strike is over, the operational successes are less
impressive, and the enemy is beginning to rally. Israel would want to
continue hurting Hamas, but the goals readied before the operation are
running out and the magical aerial solutions that do not involve loss of
soldiers are coming to an end.

Top Rabbis: IDF May Fire at Civilian Rocket Source
by Hillel Fendel
(IsraelNN.com) “When lethal rockets emanate from a civilian population bordering on a Jewish town, Jewish Law permits the firing of shells at the site – after giving sufficient warning.”
This is the gist of a Halakhic [Jewish legal] ruling issued on Tuesday by four leading rabbis in various sectors of the Jewish public. Rabbi Yaakov Yosef (eldest son of former Chief Sephardic Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef), Rabbi Dov Lior, Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe and Rabbi Meir Mazuz are signed upon the ruling.
The ruling states as follows: “When a population living near a Jewish town sends bombs at the Jewish town with the purpose of killing and destroying Jewish existence there, it is permitted, according to Jewish Law, to fire shells and bombs at the firing sites, even if they are populated by civilians.”
