Hamas-Israel Struggle Has Fundamentally Changed
(Boston Globe) Charles A. Radin - Eran Lerman, a former deputy director of military intelligence, said the struggle between Hamas and Israel's forces has fundamentally changed. ''It took a long time, but now these people can't drive from one place to another" without Israeli intelligence knowing it, Lerman said. ''This requires a complex grid of human and signal intelligence, which takes time to establish, but after a while you get a grasp on what's going on. We had this. We lost it in 1993" when the Oslo peace accords were agreed to, ''and we had to get it back."
