Israeli army arrests Hamas officials

In a welcome change of tactics, IDF arrested Palestinian education minister, three parliament members, and a few Arab mayors. None was killed, as promised earlier. The IDF doesn’t intend to exchange any of the Palestinian officials for the kidnapped Cpl. Shalit. Meanwhile, Israel continues discussing with the PLO-Fatah prisoners swap of a thousand Palestinian terrorists for Cpl.Shalit.
Israel Air Force bombed several minor businesses that support Hamas. The choice of targets reflects the IDF’s lack of strategy. Israeli government misuses the army to perform light-and-sound show in Gaza without derailing the suicidal peace process.
