Hamas's Power!!!

I must say that I am surprised by the low amount of Israeli casualties so far in this campaign. So far we had seven soldiers die and two of them from friendly fire (which is common when fighting in such an urban area)
Reading the reports about the weapons and training Hamas has received over the last couple of years both from Hezbollah and Iran I was really concern about the faith of our soldiers during a ground operation.
The reports are talking about a very well trained small army, with an intelligence unite and good communication. These are highly essential to create some order in the mess of a war zone, and when you can form that you can initiate attacks and become a fierce enemy. These are not small guerilla militias that hit and run or defend for the most part, but an initiating army that can cause serious damage!
Among the different things Hamas is reported to have are very sophisticated booby-traps, devices that jump in the air before they detonate so as to create more damage and casualties. They are trained to create multi-damage explosive scenes, with one or two charges, that harm the troops but are waiting to explode when the medical people arrive to aid them (a Hezbollah expertise).
Very well camouflaged explosive traps that looks like very innocent objects like rocks etc…
My concern about the ground offensive was and probably still is valid. I guess that unlike the second Lebanon war there was a lot of intelligence gathered before this operation and for the most part it keeps our soldiers relatively safe.
From here I would like to send my deepest condolence to the families who lost their loved ones, the whole nation salute them with pride!
And my prayers for those soldiers who are still fighting in this bloody affair.
