#5 turn gaza into rubble. why risk soldiers when machines can do it? Tunnels are useless without entrances. take no captives.

#6 Encircle it. Cut it off. They will eventually come out of their hidey holes.

#7 ....Keep in mind - Hamas is under air and artillery attack around the clock. They are under siege and expending supplies and endurance. The Israelis, however, are dug in around them in good order, well fed/supplied and comparatively well rested. They have the advantage and initiative.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility (remember that I am but A Wing Wiper Of Very Little Brain :) ) that the invasion isn't imminent, that the Israelis are doing just fine in turning Hamas and its hideouts into chunky salsa, and if Hamas wants to come out and fight that's fine. If they work themselves into frothing at the mouth first, so much the better.

Just my .02, YMMV.
