#1 Preliminary findings:

1. Tough to shoot Jooooos while hiding under your bed.
2. Unlike the locals, Joooooos shoot back.
3. Shooting at feet tough habit to break.
4. Wasted lots of ammo at weddings and funerals.
5. Tough to aim weapon while dressed in wife's burkha.

#2 "... had effectively pushed for a conflict that it was not ready for"

I thought that was rule number 1 in the Arab Warriors' handbook

#4 The report will highlight the losses of interior minister Said Siam and around 50 of Hamas's top explosives experts as among the most significant.

They dont call these things Post Mortem reports for nuthin.

#5 1. The rank and file figured that, since all the big boys were hiding out, that was the best thing to do.
2. The Gaza/Egypt tunnels are not properly reinforced, and collapse on the dummies hiding in them when Israel bombs them.
3. "Spray and pray" doesn't work as well as trained targeting.
4. Israel figured out that Hamass was more interested in fighting Fatalh than fighting the Jooooos, and set them up.
5. You can't control ANYTHING unless you control the air.
6. The average Israeli has about ten times the training as the average Hamass troop, and they learn to use live ammo during training.
7. Hamass will not learn from its mistakes.

#6 1) The Joooosss eventually get sick and tired of being rocketed.
2) When they do they will come and kick your ass
3) Hiding in another country and yelling "Go get 'em guys" does not constitute leadership.
4) Neither crapping your pants while crouching behind the women and kids.

#7 Damascus wetworks Ops would change the Hamas braggadocio, since most of the biggest bleaters ~~hide under the kids' beds~~ are in exile there
