#2 "was killed by the IDF on Saturday, fired mortars himself after junior Hamas operatives refused to go outside"

Wow, talk about intelligence! They could identify him, kill him, AND know what had happened inside that made him go outside and do it himself.

#3 I don't think they have psychic powers, more like a logical assumption...

Jerusalem Post

The IDF commander said the fact that Mansi was personally involved in attacking Israeli troops showed that the Hamas military wing was in a serious state of distress, as senior Hamas operatives would not ordinarily venture out into battlefields.

#4 and of course the fact that he did get whacked just re-inforces the underlings' belief that going out and fighting is a bad idea. That's a twofer for the IDF.

Makes sense from a psych-warfare standpoint.

#8 Good News.

Also the Hamas launched rocket count seems to be down to 20 today. It was 70+ before Op Cast Lead. It was about 50-60 before the land operation and was 30 or so on Wed and Thurs.
