An image on Twitter of rockets sailing toward London's Houses of Parliament is the Israeli military's official response to criticism of its ongoing offensive in Gaza.

Captioned "What Would You Do?" the fake photo appeared Monday on the official Twitter account of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has fired more than 1,000 missiles from Gaza into Israel since hostilities between the two sides escalated into exchanges of rockets and airstrikes beginning July 9.

The greater civilian death toll on the Palestinian side of the conflict has prompted criticism of Israel's military offensive, which last week became a ground campaign to root out missile launch sites and to close off tunnels used by Hamas to move weapons and fighters.

Once it happened—remember V-2? they carried a lot more explosives too.

Yup. When Werner von Braun's biopic came out in the early 60s it was titled "I aim at the stars" ...

A Brit critic informally added "But I sometimes hit London."

What should Israel do?—simple build rockets like the palis have, only bigger and better—But with no controls so they can’t be guided. When they fire one at Isreal—fire ten back. Keep this up until the rockets stop coming. See what happens when they hit hospitals, mosques, schools, what ever. Maybe they should build V-1 sorts of rockets and launch these buzz bombs at Gaza. a Blitz of destruction for a full year! Nothing in or out—a blocade until Hamas quits or their are no people left in Gaza.
