Hamas Blinks STRATEGY PAGE April 13, 2011: During two overnight raids in the West Bank, Israeli troops arrested seven wanted terrorists. Israel reopened road access to Gaza, which had been closed for seven days because of the large number of rockets and mortar shells fired into Israel. But Hamas has managed to keep the peace, and force smaller terror groups to hold their fire. Recent Wikileaks revelations detailed late 2009 Israeli talks with American diplomats in which the Israelis revealed that Hezbollah has installed so many rockets in southern Lebanon, in so many different locations, that if there were another war, Israel was preparing to deal with 500 rockets fired at them a day, over 60 days. This would be despite aggressive efforts to use bombers and artillery to shut down many of the launching/storage sites. Israel also criticized American efforts to strengthen the Lebanese Army. The Americans believe that the Lebanese troops would turn on Hezbollah in a future war, but the Israelis point out that Hezbollah has been encouraging more Shia to join the army, and has been striving to persuade or bribe army officers to side with the Islamic radicals.
