Is Palestine ready for a fight with Israel?

At least 69 Israeli soldiers were injured when a rocket fired from Gaza exploded in an army camp in southern Israel, the military has said.
The rocket hit an equipment store at the Zikkim training base, sending shrapnel flying through surrounding tents where soldiers were sleeping.
Four of the wounded soldiers were in a serious condition, the military said.
It is the largest number of injuries sustained in a single rocket attack against Israel from Gaza.

And then there’s this:

“We pulled out of the Gaza Strip two years ago, we took down all of the settlements, we pulled out all our military personnel, we ended the military occupation and these extremists who are shooting rockets really have no positive agenda. It’s just nihilism.”

No positive agenda? Of course they don’t have a positive agenda, they’re terrorists. And it’s not nihilism it’s a land grab. You gave them the land in which to launch attacks and you can’t be surprised that they’re launching them. Israel only has themselves to blame to think that the other side wants peace. All they want is the destruction of Israel and that should be evident from the attack (and their rhetoric and previous attacks, etc.).
