"A senior Israeli military commander involved in Operation Cast Lead said on Saturday that Hamas militants are suffering from exhaustion and are deserting battle."

It sounds like Hamas is having a serious morale problem with its so-called "operatives". What is it with Mr. Amos Harel anyway? Instead of "terrorists", "militants", "resistance fighters", or "freedom fighters", they are now just "operatives" and not even combatants. I wonder if Hamas will start executing exhausted deserters? Keep up the pressure, IDF, Hamas is starting to crack and is running out of Grads and "operatives". Hamas had better seriously consider a reasonable cease-fire soon or there won`t be much of Hamastan left to save.
