Day 46: Operation Protective Edge

PREAMBLE: Hamas fired dozens of rockets, mainly at southern Israel, all through Thursday, and vowed revenge for Israeli airstrikes that killed three of its terror chiefs. It also continued to claim that its military commander, arch-terrorist Muhammad Deif, had survived an Israeli strike late Tuesday, but produced no sign of life.

“If he’s alive, he’s certainly not available,” said Channel 10’s analyst Zvi Yehezkeli late Thursday, adding that Hamas was, for the first time in this conflict, showing signs of shock and lack of leadership.
