Do the Israelis have a habit of indiscriminately lobbing rockets into their neighboring countries?

Not that I'm aware of. But Israeli citizens beat-up Palestinians, move into Palestinian territory and set up "outposts", and often government-sanctioned settlements (both of which are illegal under international law). There is no recourse for the Palestinians. The soldiers (and there are always soldiers) side with the settlers almost every time. There was a brief period when the Israeli government was making an effort, and tearing down illegal settlements (outposts), but those days appear to be long gone.

I saw an interview with an official (don't remember the name), and he basically -paraphrasing- said "from the river to the sea" for Israel. That eventually all of it will be Israel. A state for Palestinians is not on his radar, and he doesn't care. As long as all that territory is Israel.
