IDF Is Targeting Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Maj.-Gen. Nitzan Alon, who heads the IDF's Central Command, said Tuesday, "The heads of Hamas are feeling the hits and understand the message." When the IDF's military operation is over, Hamas will be a much weaker organization, Alon said. Hamas made a strategic error in carrying out the kidnapping, a senior security source said. He argued that Hamas will be harmed "because it will be isolated. There were those who wished to make concessions to Hamas. Now it placed a sign on itself saying, 'I'm terror.'" "We are hurting the [Hamas] organizational infrastructure politically, financially, and in other ways." The Palestinian population understands the IDF's actions are aimed at Hamas and not at it, he said.
