All Of A Sudden

clipped from www.qando.net In this case, Hamas's best turned out to be less than advertised. The so-called "Iranian Unit" of Hamas has been destroyed, according to Gaza sources cited Thursday by the Haaretz daily. The sources said most of the unit's 100 members were killed in fighting in the Zeytun neighborhood of Gaza City. Apparently the Israeli response caught these so-called fighters off-guard and unprepared. They became cannon fodder for the IDF. It's called underestimating your enemy and not being prepared for the fight. A rookie mistake for a supposed hard-core militant organization. Said one of the captured Hamas terrorists: "Hamas took a gamble. We thought, at worst Israel will come and do something from the air - something superficial. They'll come in and go out. We never thought that we would reach the point where fear will swallow the heart and the feet will want to flee. You [Israel] are fighting like you fought in '48. What got into you all of a sudden?"
