Well young kiffa, if you think back to October I made it clear that Hamas and for that matter Hezbollah, were not to be messed with.
Here we are, nearly eight months later and Israel has not achieved any of its three strategies.
Hamas have fought them to a standstil. Israeli soldiers don't want to go back into Gaza, after seeing how many of them ended up dead or crippled for life.
Hamas have told Hezbollah that they don't need any help in Gaza, that they have everything under control and that they are still combat effective.
Hamas have probably been inundated with volunteers, from those who have suffered from Israeli atrocities and war crimes.
