They're disguised as doctors and nurses, and the IDF continues its policy of calling Gaza civilians ahead of bombing strikes: Diskin: Hamas dealt a 'serious blow'
Hamas has been attacked in a manner in which it has never been attacked before, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Yuval Diskin told the security cabinet Wednesday, a week after the same forum approved Operation Cast Lead.
According to Diskin, Hamas's ability to govern has been seriously harmed, and the organization's leaders are in hiding. He said that some are hiding in hospitals, disguised as doctors or nurses, while others are hiding in mosques.
Diskin said that Hamas has turned some of Gaza's mosques into command and control centers, assuming that Israel would not bomb them. He also said Hamas has stockpiled weapons in mosques...
...The cabinet was also told that the IDF has made some 100,000 phone calls to Gaza residents since the beginning of the operation, warning them to leave their apartments or homes before an impending attack.
I guess the mosque thing hasn't been working out so well.

As long as the Palestinians as a whole throughout the World and Syria-based militants and Iranian militant groups keep breeding Terrorist and Hate in their Children and Adults against others they are going to be a problem for the whole World.
I wish their was no Religion for them to hide behind & would stop hiding behind the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza & Israeli would be better off under Israeli Occupation in Gaza, Life in the region would be better for Everyone. The borders could open up then.
Hamas and all terrorist need to Disappear from the face of Mother Earth for the Greater Good of the World.
If your in a country that is Pro Israeli and U don't like it get out of that country.
