Israeli army fights armed ghosts in Gaza

[bemildred]

GAZA, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- No one can see armed fighters, taking positions in the streets or sitting into lookout posts or buildings in the Gaza Strip. Means of militants' transportation, mainly cars, trucks and vehicles also can not be seen driving around, an Islamic Jihad armed wing spokesman said Thursday.

Fighters or even police or security officers carrying machine-guns or pistols are not seen in the streets of the Gaza Strip that has been facing a 13 days of air and ground Israeli military strikes.

Israel has been offering the population a three-hour unilateral ceasefire since Wednesday. During the three hours, a significant movement of traffic can be seen, where thousands of civilians go out for shopping.

"Although the men of resistance are invisible, but their acts on the ground are tangible," said Abu Ahmed, spokesman of Saraya al-Quds, Islamic Jihad's movement's armed wing.

3. Hamas wants to draw the IDF into the cities.

They will not expose themselves or their better weapons and tactics unless that happens.
(Just my opinion, this subject is sort of danced around in the press.)

4. Great! Another Israel=Nazi person

There are posts in nearly every thread making these unfound and untrue comparisons.

And you fool, Hamas has tens of thousands of militants.

They are cowards who hide behind women and children, or down in bunkers, while their kids play on the roof.

They are the most evil type of person that lives, for putting THEIR OWN women and children in the front line, while they hide.

Cowards, and ***holes.

5. Indeed, the state of Israel and it's government have become the very thing...

...that they once feared so much.

Such is the destiny of an unchecked power, given carte blanche to ride roughshod over it's neighbors.
