#2 (with apologies to Monty Python's Holy Grail...)

"Brave lions of Islam, lions of Islam, ran away...
Bravely ran away, away, oh lions of Islam....

#4 On Thursday, the PA Interior Ministry ordered security forces to fight Israeli troops closing in from northern and southern Gaza. Interior Minister Said Siyyam, regarded as close to Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, also relayed instructions to the National Security Forces, the largest paramilitary force in the Gaza Strip. Siyyam's instructions have not been obeyed, the sources said.

But when away his regiment ran, his place was at the fore-o.

That celebrated, cultivated, underrated nobleman, the Duke of Plaza-Toro."
