The Latest Hamas Threats

Hamas warns that terrible surprises await IDF if they enter Gaza.

Hmm... what ever could they be warning of?

Suicide bombers?
Walls of sewage from waste-laden sewage ponds?
Terrorists using human shields to increase the body count?
Schools as terrorist bunkers?
Schools as mortar and rocket launching pads?
Underground bunkers under mosques?

Seriously, do they think that Israel doesn't know what these Islamic terrorists are capable of doing? The sheer inhumanity of what these Islamic terrorists do on a daily basis, and the lengths to which the Israelis go to reduce civilian casualties among the Palestinians at great risk to Israeli soldiers?

Israel is quite cognizant of what these terrorists are capable of doing. The Israeli military must deal with Hamas at some point, but it will be at a time and place of Israel's choosing. I can only hope that when Israel does finally act, it eliminates Hamas's leadership once and for all, and doesn't resort to half measures. Half measures have been the Achilles Heel for Israel for years when dealing with the terrorists - both in Hamas and Fatah. It gives those groups hope that they can outlast Israel's resolve.
