As Rockets Land in Israel, we ask: When will there be Peace?

Over the last week Israel has been subject to barrages of rockets, fired at its civilian centres from the terrorists in the Gaza strip. The rockets are more and more powerful, reaching larger population centres such as Ashkelon and Beersheba and putting key infrastructure in danger. Schools are having to be closed. Israel has responded with targeted missile attacks and utilized its advanced "Iron Dome" anti-missle system. Israel is in a difficult position, her civilian centres are in danger and the populations are being terrorized, yet entering the Gaza strip is not a desirable option. It is a hornet's nest of terrorists, shielding themselves amongst the civilian population. There have also been attempted terrorist attacks within Israel. On the 15th a mother and her daughter were ambushed on the way home to Bethel, but thankfully they were saved when another car arrived behind them. The Iranian nuclear threat also rumbles on, with options and time running out. Ynet news reports that the US Navy is doubling its presence in the Persian Gulf.
