(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Palestinian sources said Thursday that most of the leaders of Hamas in the Gaza Strip have gone into hiding for fear that Israel might try to kill them. PA officials in Gaza said the Hamas leaders are "very nervous." "Most of them have moved to safe houses and have minimized their contacts with the outside world. Only a very few people know where they are," one official said. Hamas on Thursday ordered "all military cells" to take immediate action and carry out more attacks against Israel. Gaza Strip Hamas leader Mahmoud Zaher declared, "Your children, your women, and your husbands...everyone is a target now."
