In his assessment before cabinet ministers on Sunday morning, ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) Director Yuval Diskin stated Hamas leaders in Gaza fear an existential threat as a result of the ongoing IDF operation in Gaza.
He added that Hamas leaders outside of Gaza are already showing some signs of willingness towards accepting a ceasefire but this would not halt rocket fire. The Hamas terrorist leaders he explains overestimated their Arab neighbors, expecting the Arab world to stand at their side but this is not the case.
Chief of Military Intelligence Major-General Amos Yadlin added that Hamas leaders now realize the error of their ways, violating the ceasefire to the extent Israel launched Operation Cast Lead. He adds Hamas has isolated itself since the masses are angry for the destruction the leadership has brought to Gaza.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak stated the operation was moving ahead but cautioned “we have yet to change realities in southern Israel,” explaining the terror organization has not yet suffered enough to bring a halt to the rocket fire.

hamas NEEDS to be wiped off the face of the earth!!
crocwoman, oops! I mean clogwoman,
I for one am behind you on that one!
Usually we say “bateil machshovos son’einu”; but their thought of extinction should come to fruition A.S.A.P.!!!
AAAWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! My heart bleeds borscht.
Remember the Gulf War in 1991. If General Shartzkopf would have been allowed to continue to Bagdad and get Sadaam then, the whole on-going Iraq war now might have been avoided. “Be in it, to win it!!!”
I do know that we, as Jews, should not gloat or celebrate over the demise of our foes, Gd’s Children. We should not do this or participate in those types of celebrations however, I have been looking for my wife’s tamborine all morning and can’t seem to find it. Going out to purchase one, bln, this morning!
Hamas is not acting afraid-they are still launching rockets at Israel as I type this. They have not “waved a white flag”. They are fighting fiercely, still looking to inflict as much death as they can. These people have been trained to fight until death and have been brainwashed that they are getting heaven for doing so. The only sign of willingness they have shown is the desire to ceasefire in order to re-arm!
Hey bubby,
Don’t waste good heimishe borsht crying over dead hamas terrorists
I agree with #7 by hating Hamas we show that we’re no better than they are. rather we should look at them with pity that they we’re brought up to be killers and murderers
rejoicing when your enemies have their downfall depends on the level of your enemy… G-d willing this should all pass with no loss to Jewish lives – we should all thank Hashem with all our heart. you can see by Purim and Chanuka – how our ancestors celebrated. they channeled their victory feelings, into acts of gratitude to Hashem, they didn’t sit and gloat that the Yivonim were defeated – but proceeded to light the menora and clean up the Beis Hamikdash. They didn’t waste a moment feeling bad for the Yivonim! I don’t see what sense there is in pitying bloodthirsty rotzchim. They have no inkling what peace feels like, their very blood boils viciously within them.
