Hamas: We 'have defeated the Israeli army'

2006-07-09

Hamas's military wing, Izzadin al-Kassam announced in a press conference in Beit Lahiya Saturday evening that its fighters "have defeated the Israeli army."

IDF troops began pulling out of northern Gaza late Friday night and Saturday morning following military operations there. During the press conference, the masked Hamas operatives also presented army-issued identification cards belonging to IDF troops. The cards were apparently left behind accidentally by the soldiers due to the intense fighting there.

#11 They defeated the Israeli Army ? How interesting... reality is, that, the palestinians are now calling for a cease fire.. The big bad cowards are running scared. I hope that the palestinians are enjoying the Israeli raids, its a little taste of their own medecine back..

#9 Israel just rocket attacked Gaza an hour ago. looks like they were just getting out of the way of the rockets. Soon they will return to sweep out the rats.

#7 "the masked Hamas operatives also presented army-issued identification cards belonging to IDF troops"
Trying to make use of those cards would be almost as stupid as making calls on left-behind cell phones. I'm guessing they're deliberate plants.

#5 Hey, Lions of Islam^TM!! If you have defeated the IDF...then you should be able to just roll on to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Show the world Lions of Islam^TM.

#4 Quick! Someone tell the brave Lions of Islam who were leading the attack from the rear that they can come out of their hidey-holes now.

#3 IDF troops began pulling out of northern Gaza late Friday night and Saturday morning following military operations there.

The reason is that there is pretty much bugger-all in Gaza left worth attacking. The reality on the Paleo side is 'one more victory like that one and we are undone.'

#2 If Olmert and Peretz had a firing synapse between them, these punks would be begging for the IDF to lay off, not crowing about a "victory". Maybe if they lob a few more missiles into empty buildings to prove they're, you know, serious and shit, Hamas will release Gilad Shalit. But I doubt it.

#1 This must be a new definition of 'defeat' that I'm not aware of.

"Look, they left cards!"
"Zionist cards!"
"Yes, yes Zionist cards!"
"Truly a magnifient victory!"
"...and a defeat for the Zionists!"
"Oh course a defeat for the Zionists!"

blah blah blah...
