It took 100's of rockets before Israel began responding.

I didn't forget to mention anything, it's in the article.

Problem is, those "100's" of rockets (100's meaning 160-180, so not a multiple of 100) compare in the following way:

Hamas Rocket Attacks:
Deaths - 0
Injuries - 0

Israeli Bombing in Gaza:
Deaths - 50+
Injuries - 450+
(both numbers including civilians)

I'm not posting this as a statement for one side or another. I'm not stating who is right, or who is wrong, I'm simply stating the numbers as they are.
