Do you think it might be time to change military tactics?

Instead, of absorbing the mortar attacks, should the military respond immediately with artillery and or air strikes of their own? Will the resulting civillian casualties change the guaranteed outcome of the current policy - failure?

Does anyone think the military tactics currently in effect can "WIN" a reasonably stable and peaceful result? Consider the historical reality, 'History is ONLY written by the victors'.
