OK. Per my last post, I would now defer to the IDF on that decision.

I think that Israel should do what is necessary to shut down the airport. Cratering a runway is probably not sufficient. Runways can be fixed, and a runway designed for jetliners can be used by a small plane even if damaged, I suspect. I think that's why Israel keeps hitting it.
Maybe, but as with some of what Israel did a few weeks back in Gaza, it seems to me that they are responding with disproportionate force to punish civilian populations for the actions of Hamas and Hezbollah, and I don't think that's appropriate. In fact, I think it smacks of terrorism.
