According to Israeli security service Shin-Bet’s head Diskin, Hamas follows the Hezbollah’s tacticts: sets booby traps, tunnels, trains snipers, prepares firing positions in densely populated areas. Shin-Bet estimates that reduction in Kasaam missile launches from Gaza relates to Hamas’ difficulty of moving rockets under Israel Air Force’s supervision rather than Hamas’ peaceful intentions.
Israel doesn’t seem to plan ground operation in Gaza. Hamas force in Gaza counts 8,000 guerrillas. Over the weekend, the IDF killed 7.
