The IdF refuses to deploy proven anti-rocket technology which the IDF has in stock, claiming it isn`t perfect 100%. There are daily rocket attacks from Northern Gaza, so they turn off the alarms.

Then separately, the IDF announces that a bloodbath is planned for Gaza to `teach `em a lesson.` But the IDF is worried about the PR for the bloodbath.

Somebody is looking for just the right excuse to justify the bloodbath.

I don`t blame the people of Ashkelon for being pissed. They should be. And whoever made the decision to turn off the alarm should be pensioned off and permanently barred from government or tried for deliberately endangering civilians.
