SHIN BET: HAMAS READY FOR IDF IN GAZA

Shin Bet: "Hamas Will Be Ready for Us" in Gaza, Has Rockets that Can Reach Ashkelon But Has Not Decided to Use Them - Ronny Sofer
Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin told the Israeli Cabinet Sunday that if the Israel Defense Forces enter Gaza, "they [Hamas] will be more than ready for us." "They'll be waiting for us with explosive tunnels, snipers, road bombs and anything else they can think of." When asked if Hamas was capable of increasing the amount of missiles launched at Israel, Diskin replied, "They can make such an effort, but for no longer than a few days." "They are limited by the difficulties in moving rocket launchers around, they can't make as many rockets as before and they have an increasing amount of casualties," he added. "It's no coincidence they're not firing at Ashkelon. They may have the technical ability, but they know that would mean things have escalated further." (Ynet News)
