Iran has supplied Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip a missile capable of striking Tel Aviv, defense sources said on Tuesday.
Military Intelligence Chief General Amos Yadlin told the Knesset foreign affairs and defense committee earlier Tuesday that Hamas has recently tested a missile capable of reaching targets at a distance of 60 kilometers.

Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Yadlin said Hezbollah, the Shi'ite guerilla group based in southern Lebanon, has also been stockpiling weapons.
"The organization continues to arm itself and it is amassing many weapons by [acquiring them from] Iran via Syria," the MI chief said. "It is accumulating these arms [and maintaining them] south of the Litani River, inside civilian homes, in contravention of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 [which brought an end to the Second Lebanon War in 2006]."

worldknight,
difficult decisions coming up; we know that there will be repercussions with any choice.
Pre-emptive strike means less physical damage to Israel AND to Lebanon, because,
you and I, AND everyone KNOWS, that If Tel Aviv is ACTUALLY HIT, that, the Israelis have already warned Lebanon that they will consider it a LEBANESE attack. and Israel would then have the same rights of counter-attack that the U.S. had, when Japan "pre-emptively" bombed Pearl Harbor.
But, waiting for that first hit, so that Israel can be "in the right", will bring with it, TREMENDOUS DAMAGE!...to Israel AND to Lebanon.
a pre-emptive strike would allow some to say, that, Israel is the aggressor. BUT, a pre-emptive strike will be VERY LIMITED to ending the threat, ONLY. There would be no Israeli damage and deaths in Tel Aviv, and Beirut will not suffer through naked fury.
This question is only for Israel/Lebanon, because
the answer to the same question, *pre-emptive* OR *retaliatory*,
might NOT be the same answer if the question involves Israel/Iran.

Yup, if Tel Aviv is hit, then its all over for the aggressor. Short of that, Israel will still do what it must, and hezbollah and hamas, both being terrorist organizations and all, will somehow 'manage' to make it abundantly justified for Israel to finish the job on them. No more half way measures. As for iran, its a bad situation all the way around, but there are things that must, and somehow will, be done. Doing nothing is ultimately far worse than doing something that won't completely work. Time is the ally of iran, but time is not the ally of Israel and the rest of the civilized world. tick-tock, tick-tock.......
