#3 I believe some of the premature bombers demise has been caused by cell phone activated signals. The young boy who was caught last week narrowly missed being blown up. It is reasonable to assume the Israeli's know this and have been effective so far in detonating these devices prematurely. That being the case then the Paleos know it too and thus co-ordinating a massive suicide bombing becomes so much more difficult. If not it will be a 4th of July boomer parade.

#4 800 suicide bombers? Hamas doesn't seem to have a problem organizing rather static things like infrastructure, but a fluid concept like a suicide bomber corps, a single action, would strain their logistics in such a way, Hamas could well be put out of business.

That is a lot of activity taking place, and it doesn't seem to be that it would escape notice once the planning commences.

Perhaps IDF could play a little rope a dope with these folks to encourage them to shoot their wad on this one idea. Nothing more devastating in the world than a broke Hamas jihadi, unless its a self exploding/broke Hamas jihadi, from standoff range.

Seems to me that if they could have mounted such a massive attack they would have tried it already. It is also possible that this announcment comes on the heels of a cash infusion from somewheres. ( Shoddy Arabia? Iran? ) Or it could also be a call for cash from their supporters.

#6 If you rig a computer program to dial every Palistinian phone number in sucession, we could call the result the gand finale of the Road Map.

#7 If this is true, then either this Maashal guy is a retard or Israel controls him because his instructions are both unrealistic and idiotic.

Unrealistic because Hamas simply can't get that many bombers through the green line. Idiotic because with that many bombers, at least a few of them will boom prematurely and give the whole thing away.
