- Israel's endgame in Gaza it is easy to ascertain where President Barack Obama wants this conflict to end. First, he wants Hamas to remain armed and in control of Gaza... The three soldiers from the Maglan commando unit who were killed on Tuesday in Gaza, were buried in the rubble of a UN clinic. They entered the building to seal a terror tunnel whose entry shaft was located inside the clinic. A Hamas terrorist was inside the tunnel waiting for them. He detonated the building. Works out that Hamas had booby trapped the structure, hiding twelve barrels with eighty kgs. of explosives each, in a wall. In a press briefing following the bombing, Gaza Division Commander Brig. Gen. Micky Edelstein reported that to date Hamas has used more than a thousand IEDs. Its bombs have destroyed thousands of buildings in the Gaza Strip...the amount of concrete Hamas used in its tunnels it could have built 100 kindergartens, two hospitals, twenty schools and twenty clinics... the terror group's practice of using clinics, kindergartens, schools, hospitals and mosques as weapons storage areas, missile launching sites and command centers makes clear that the welfare of Gaza residents doesn't even rank in Hamas's list of organizational goals
- Gaza's next disaster: no cement for rebuilding The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimate that each of the three dozen underground passages that troops have found so far required 350 truckloads of building supplies. In addition to countless homes and a hospital that Hamas commandeered, the Israeli bombardment has destroyed 50 factories that produced food products, soft drinks, and textiles, among other goods, according to Ali Al-Hayek, vice president of the Palestinian Federation of Industries. But if cement imports resume, what’s to stop Hamas, which runs the enclave, from again taking or smuggling it to rebuild its underground military infrastructure?
