The latest barrage of rockets from Gaza on Israeli communities was triggered when the IDF stopped Gazan terrorists from placing explosives along the border. IDF soldiers killed the two Islamic Jihad terrorists, and then sent in a bulldozer to retrieve the bodies.

Defense Minister Bennett said he will not return the body of the terrorist, along with other bodies of terrorists recently captured in other incidents, until the bodies of Israelis (Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul)  being held Gaza by Hamas are returned.

It is sad that it has had to come to this, and now residents in many towns of Israel need to suffer the barrage of rockets and there is the possibility of broader military action, which is never a good thing though it is sometimes necessary. but when nothing else works, I am happy our Defense Minister will try something new and let them know there is a new sheriff in town. Will this move work? that remains to be seen. At least it is not just trying the same old stuff over and over again.
