According to Israel National News Hamas took a gamble when they started sending missles into Israel.
Two captured terrorists interviewed by Maariv/NRG say that Hamas was not expecting Israel’s response to the escalation in missile attacks on Israeli targets that preceded Operation Cast Lead. One of them, a 52-year-old victim of a premature detonation who had already done time in an Israeli jail, said, “Hamas took a gamble. We thought, at worst Israel will come and do something from the air - something superficial. They’ll come in and go out. We never thought that we would reach the point where fear will swallow the heart and the feet will want to flee. You [Israel] are fighting like you fought in ‘48. What got into you all of a sudden?”
hmmm, could it be they are tired of being attacked continuously? Could it be that all efforts to stop the attacks, cease-fires, talks, etc fail?
But the effort to stop the attacks are working..
The so-called “Iranian Unit” of Hamas has been destroyed, according to Gaza sources cited Thursday by the Haaretz daily. The sources said most of the unit’s 100 members were killed in fighting in the Zeytun neighborhood of Gaza City.
The terrorists had been trained in infantry tactics, the use of anti-tank missiles and the detonation of explosives, among other skills, by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard at Hizbullah camps in Lebanon’s Beka’a Valley, as well as sites in Iran.
Everything you read says that Israel will bring an end to the fighting within a few days. But think about it, should they? If they do, Hamas will rebuild their arsenal, rebuild their ranks and will have train more for the next offensive. Israel wants to stop the weapons from going into Gaza and stop Hama altogether. They may not stop until it is finished.
From Hot Air:
They’re starting to do tremendous damage to Hamas both in Gaza and worldwide. They have restored the reputation for their military efforts that got damaged in 2006. The IDF and Israeli government should consider completing the rout of Hamas rather than worry about timetables at this point.
