#1 F-16 bombers and F-15 fighters, eh? Thumbs down to the reporter but a big thumbs up to the IDF.

#2 The report also quoted a Hamas official who confirmed that there was an arms convoy headed for Gaza through Sudan but claimed that there were only 15 trucks containing far fewer weapons than earler reports claimed. He said that Israel was "trying to overplay the quantity" in order to justify its decision to thwart the delivery.

And perhaps Hamas is trying to underplay its losses.

#6 Aside from Allah and Mensud doing the Moses thingy, my shaky geography suggests any truck convoy would have to traverse Egypt.

So either the IDF sent Cairo a loud message or saved them a big headache. Silence suggests the latter.
