This is what happens when you push Israel too far! 😀
via Israel National News:
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?“
The second terrorist, a 21-year-old, said Hamas brought order to Gaza, but also brought fear. He noted that it was dangerous in Gaza for non-Hamas members, citing an instance of his being beaten and another in which he saw a friend killed when he went to get gas. “Now they’re all gone,” he said. “There have been no Hamasniks in the streets since the start of the campaign.”
What got into Israel is that the fact that Israel got tired being poked with a stick, by a bunch of Arab thugs who are hell bent on war with Israel. Hamas wanted a fight and Israel brought it to them, and now they’re like “WTF?” Well, they found out “WTF!”
Something tells me that Hamas is going to be voted out in short order, in favor of fata or much less militant group.
