Question, why this age group?

The bombers are young and not so young, educated and not educated, from poor families and from relatively well-off ones. Still, most of the bombers are young unmarried men, between seventeen and twenty-eight, and more than half of them come from refugee camps, where the hatred of Israel is strongest.

Going back to my main point......what hope has israel in combatting such an enemy?
You may believe israel can continue indefinately in a state of near guerilla war against a people who have little or nothing to loose...I do not.

you may think you can block support of palastinians but please realize many support Palastinians out of disgust towards israel and zionism rather than sympathy to the refugees.....many might accuse me of being unsound but frankly ,in introspection i find that its not mercy but disgust that leed

As i said should there be an attack on iran indirect warfare against irael will most likely only increace and the more pressure israel applies the more risistance it will create against its self.

Consider that post about the increace in draft dodging and how it is becoming more and more socially acceptable to do so.
