A “comprehensive truce” means that next time, they’ll let us not shoot back at them in Gaza AND Judea and Samaria.

Keep it up. There is an old military maxim that goes: Press hard on a rout. If Hamas is feeling the heat this is no time to let up, but to intensify the action until all the members of Hamas still alive are either in jail or Damascus.

As for making an agreement, the only thing you’ll get from these scum is a Treaty of Hudaybiyya. Fuggeddaboudit.

No doubt some of the tracking information is coming from the so called “moderate” fatah group. It is temporarly in their interest to have Israel inflict as much damage as possible to hamas. Long term, I would not trust any of these barbarians.

Based on what I have read (in the press, web sites, etc) in open source non-fiction about intelligence activities, it is best if we do not hear details. Remember what happened when President Clinton revealed that NSA had been listening in to Osama Bin Laden's calls home. Also remember what happened when the N.Y. Times revealed the financial clearinghouse monitoring that allowed us to track a number of terrorist cells. While it would be interesting, if we find out, they would also find out and be able to avoid being tracked. Actually, it is better if they think that the good guys can do more than is actually possible. It would keep them from trying things.

I would be interested in finding out more about the Israeli intelligence machine. The fact that they are able to track these guys by the minute and take them out surgically while avoiding collateral casualties is amazing.
