Subject: Letter for publication - Israel's nonexistent ground to ground missiles
Why was Israel not using precision guided ground to ground missiles against Hamas in Gaza instead of hundreds or aircraft sorties? The loss of one of our planes could result in huge financial losses, an F-35 cost 100$m! Or is it that we do not have such suitable weaponry in our arsenal as the IDF/IAF did not consider them necessary. Clearly, there needs to be a public investigation into our defensive planning since we appear to be making the same mistakes as happened before the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
