Islamic Jihad militant killed in Gaza Strip air strike

Quote:
One Palestinian militant has been killed and at least two others injured in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics say.Islamic Jihad confirmed the dead man had been a member of its military wing.The Israeli military said its aircraft had targeted two groups of militants east of Gaza City, which had been preparing to fire rockets into Israel.Witnesses said they had earlier clashed with Israeli troops who crossed the Gaza border and entered a buffer zone.Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, said it had dispatched forces to the area and that they had exchanged fire with the Israeli soldiers.An Israeli military spokeswoman did not comment on the reported ground operation, but said it would "continue to take action against those [who] use terror against the State of Israel".Islamic Jihad has been involved in a number of clashes with Israeli forces.

So they wasted how many thousands of dollars to fly over and drop a high price bomb?

One Bullet from a well trained Sniper could do how many kills for the same price?

You'll be graded for showing your work.

It sounds like the Israelis had to react quickly, as these rocket attacks are usually "fire and disappear".
I guess the aircraft has a little advantage over a sniper team regarding deployment times.
