"That's when the Hamas leaders realized that Israel now meant business," he says. "The Hamas leaders were convinced that [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon had received a green light from Washington to eliminate the political leadership of the movement. Many of the Hamas leaders were in a state of panic, and even went into hiding.

Nadine,
So even terrorist leaders experience the feeling of fear. Faced with their own demise, suddenly the promise of 72 virgins was not so appealing to the leadership.
Let's hope the Hamas troops learn about the true cowardice of their leadership and their unwillingness to personally enter the fight. For when the Hamas troops lose faith in their leadership coupled with effective Israeli attacks, they will abandon the battlefield.
I doubt it happens yet. More Hamas leadership will imo have to be dealt with before the peace really takes hold and the soldiers trade their weapons for an economic opportunity.
