As the IDF continues its thrashing of Hamas terrorists throughout the Gaza Strip, and now including close quarter battle (CQB) in Gaza City itself in the third phase of Operation Cast Lead, there are new and disturbing developments to the north. To date only a few hundred of the estimated 20,000-some odd man military force of Hamas have been KIA. With at least 95% of the Hamas fighting force still combat capable, the IDF has much work yet to do to accomplish this mission.
