#7 HAARETZ > ISRAELI DEFENSE ESTABLISHMENT ANGRY AT EGYPT FOR GAZA BREACH; + YNETNEWS >OP-ED:MY TALKS WITH HAMAS. Among other thingys, HAMAS is offering 10-25 years of "quiet" [read - NOT peace] in return for Israel opening up the GAZA borders to allow Paleos into Israel; + GAZA: MASSES RETURN FROM EGYPT WITH COWS/LIVESTOCK. "They're starving in Gaza" - in addition, Egyptian authors claim that PALEOS HAVE NOT PURCHASED OR PROCURED ANY WEAPONS TO BRING BACK INTO GAZA FOR USE AGZ ISRAEL. PALESTINIANS > ITS EASIER TO BUY/FIND WEAPONS IN GAZA THAN MEDICINE FOR CANCER OR COCA-COLA.

#8 HAMAS is offering 10-25 years of "quiet" [read - NOT peace]

That's a hudna. Quiet while Hamas rearms after the Israeli raids, in preparation for the next phase of the "Intifada".

#9 But a Hamas border guard interviewed by The Times at the border today admitted that the Islamist group was responsible and had been involved for months in slicing through the heavy metal wall using oxy-acetylene cutting torches.

In all likelihood, Mubarak knew what was going on before the first torch was sparked.
