this looks to me liek the end of Israel as we knew it:

The northern tip of the West Bank was designated “Jihadland” by Shin Bet Director Tuesday

August 29, 2006, 6:19 PM (GMT+02:00)

Yuval Diskin revealed that the security service he heads had strongly advised the former prime minister Ariel Sharon to refrain from evacuating the northern West Bank last summer, for fear of its falling into the hands of the most extremist Palestinian fundamentalists terrorists – as in fact has happened.

In an exhaustive briefing to the Knesset foreign affairs and defense committee Tuesday, Aug. 29, the Shin Bet director described further deterioration on the Palestinian anti-Israel warfront.

He reported Palestinians Hamas terrorists are building an army modeled on Hizballah. Iranian terror experts together with quantities of Katyusha and Grad rockets are being smuggled through the Egyptian-Gaza Strip border past European inspectors and Egyptian police units.

Sinai, said Diskin, has become a “paradise for weapons traffickers” with Egyptian forces standing idly by. The Shin Bet director said Hamas is reorganizing as a regular army modeled on Hizballah with a proper chain of command and is building fortified bunkers and tunnels in the Gaza Strip.

Diskin also told the lawmakers that he offered the army trained Shin Bet interrogators for questioning Lebanese prisoners about the two Israeli hostages in Hizballah’s hands. But he was rebuffed with a “No, thank you.”
