File under: Hamas

#1 since this is ops, I wont discuss the politics of the deal, which ive briefly talked about in the non-ops thread.

here, the first question is, how long will the calm last? In particular, does everybody in the strip, IJ, dogmush, etc support the deal, or will they try to undercut it by attacking Israel (either defying hamas, or with a wink from Hamas). Lots of Israelis (including, I think, Barak) would like an excuse to toss the deal aside, so winking would be a dangerous game for hamas. Theres supposed to be a couple of days of quiet before Rafah opens, so they will probably want to hold at least that long.
