The IDF's War on Hamas Is Going Better than Expected
(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - A month into the war against Hamas in Gaza, "I think it's going slightly better than I expected in terms of the rate of advance, the ratio of casualties," said Eran Lerman, former deputy director of Israel's National Security Council. "Given the extremely complex conditions, they're doing it very wisely, very carefully." 35 IDF soldiers have died since the ground invasion began a week and a half ago against an enemy that had 15 years to prepare its defenses. Hamas can shoot off RPGs before rushing back into tunnels, but it has not shown itself capable of doing anything that would keep the IDF from reaching exactly where it wants to go.
