A simple question, history indicates Hamas, with the help of the Palestinians and during the last truce, had time to construct an intricate tunnel system to play hide and seek. Their was chance to move the prisoners at Hamas’ pleasure.

Maybe you saw the picture of Hamas riding on vehicles, guns raised high — maybe a shot or two in the sky but save ammunition, we’re running short. I’m thinking does this show Hamas the winner!

Truce needs a goal. Is Hamas goal to refresh troops; maybe a swimming in the sea, renewing family relations BUT this will come to a very quick end. There are military goods needed to end the truce. Military evacuation on wounded and dead, both needed duties to respected the living and dead. Their biggest need is to find ways to import ammunition, mortar shells, maybe a land mine or two, of course let us not forget MONEY for troops, bribes, and repair of the tunnel system to keep Israel guessing.

All these needs accomplished, after a bow to the East, Hamas is ready.
