Is Hamas falling apart? A senior IDF officer estimated Saturday that roughly 300 Hamas men have been killed since the army launched its ground incursion in the Gaza Strip. The military official said IDF troops were able to wipe out whole battalions belonging to the Gaza terror group.
"Hundreds of people were killed in the various combat sectors," the officer said. "Some Hamas companies and battalions were simply wiped out. We also see cases of desertions and unauthorized leaves, while some terror activists are scared to undertake moves that would jeopardize them vis-à-vis IDF troops."
Gaza Operation IDF warns Gaza residents: Strikes to intensify / Hanan Greenberg and AP Air Force drops leaflets in Gaza, instructing residents to stay away from terrorists Full Story Earlier Saturday, the IDF killed Hamas' rocket chief in the Gaza City area, Amir Mansi. The senior officer said that shortly before his death Mansi clashed with his subordinates, who refused to come out of their hideouts. The rocket chief was left with no choice but to launch mortar shells himself, and was killed after being identified by the army.
'Forces moving forward' The officer also reported dozens of clashes between IDF troops and Palestinian gunmen in the northern Gaza Strip over the weekend. In one case, an IDF tank was able to avert an attack on a Givati infantry force, he said. Troops in the tank spotted a mortar cell preparing to fire and attacked it before it was able to target IDF soldiers.
"The forces continue to move forward, while reinforcing their hold on the ground" the senior officer said. "They are operating vis-à-vis the Hamas organization, which sealed off whole neighborhoods."

The IDF official said that Hamas fighters had no qualms about exploiting civilians in the war.
"Hamas is attempting every possible tactic against us – in psychological terms as well," he said. "Yet the day it comes out of its trenches and see the destruction and price it paid, it will understand the extent of the blow it suffered."

Not enough.
*shrug* It’s a start.
It’s a good start!
hamas has roughly 15,000 men in gaza, a few hundred killed won’t wipe it out.
So sad, sniff.....
forgot to add, with higher estimates putting the number of Hamas at 20,00 men in Gaza.

It sounds like the DemocRATS’ donor and voter base is really taking a hit. That’s not ALL bad.
Kill all the pig-faced Islamic POS SOB's!!
You must’ve missed the memo this is all a Zionist Conspiracy to kill Arabs and minorities. Or something like that.

Thing is, if these fools get their way again some painter is going to make a bundle on all the "martyr" sign BS throughout the strip. King Saul...Joshua, King David...should have finished the job years ago; now it's politically incorrect to kill your enemy. Everyone will hate Israel, and antisemitism will strike a higher note on the scale of Islamic hatred. I do hope they find Galid Shalit...or at least the real story. One day closer to Megiddo. My prayers go out of course always for our American warriors and our Israeli allies.
It’s like blowing up the Nazi-filled beer halls of 1920s Munich.
Nip the SOBs in the bud now before Obamistan.
Smart Jews.
So far so good.
Let the occupiers(arabs) bodies hit the floor:

Genesis 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.....
Genesis 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
They have taken nothing but desert and converted it into arable land (no pun intended):
Amos 9:14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
The lost tribes are returning,those being israelites from the various tribes from the north(Russia,etc) the west(Ethiopia,etc):
Zechariah 8:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Jeremih 23:8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land
I’m confused. If this is a route and “entire batallions” being wiped out and they estimate 300 dead, this is a disconnect.
Entire batallions would be much more than 300.
