While international outrage has mounted over Israel’s strikes at Gaza, there is plenty of anger here about the rocket attacks, which Israel says prompted the assault on the impoverished Palestinian territory. Shmerling, cook, "I trust the Israeli Defense Forces can stop the rockets. It doesn't mean one or two won't slip over, but to cut their legs and to break their bones so they can't fire them, The IDF will succeed in this". The military build-up continues along the border. So far Israel's offensive has failed to curb the rocket attacks, which have increased in frequency since the current air strikes on Gaza began.
