Subject: Re: Hamas launches mass attacks on Israel
Israel needs to be very careful. I think the goal of Hamas was to get Israel to overreact in a way that it pulls other nations into the battle. Taking hostages required Israel to move into Gaza. Lebanon has pledged support for the Palestinians if Israel were to make such a move. A full scale war in the area will not be good for anybody, especially Israel. The US is moving military support into the region to serve as a deterrent to other nations. Hopefully we are on the downslope of this conflict, and not just the beginning.
