Let us hope so. Those evil people need to be destroyed – ever last one of them and their arrogance also needs to be broken. Thank God the cynical and feckless Olmert government is history. I think that the Mossad has them so spooked that they will claim that any disaster was caused by them, just like the Left blames everything on Bush. It is nice though to get into your enemies head. By the way Khaled Abu Toameh who is an Israeli-Arab citizen is one of the more perceptive columnists who understands the Palestinian world.

Group probing whether Israel also got into Damascus security services
The mysterious death of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai last month has prompted Hamas to launch an internal investigation to determine whether Israel has managed to infiltrate the highest echelons of the Islamist movement, a senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip revealed on Tuesday.
“The assassination of someone as senior as Mabhouh has rung an alarm bell in Hamas,” the official told The Jerusalem Post. “Only a few people in the Hamas leadership knew about Mabhouh’s secret activities and movements.”
The official said that many Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip and Syria were convinced that the Mossad has infiltrated the movement’s top ranks. “Obviously, the assassination of Mabhouh is a huge security blunder for Hamas, because it shows that the Israeli agents are sitting among our leaders in Damascus.”
The Hamas official said Hamas was also looking into the possibility that Israel has infiltrated the Syrian security services, which are responsible for the safety of the leaders of all the radical Palestinian groups based in Damascus, including Hamas.

Some Hamas officials warned that “exporting” the fight against Israel to the international arena would jeopardize the movement’s efforts to seek recognition by the West.
A Hamas representative in the West Bank urged his movement to abide by its long-standing policy of refraining from attacking Israeli and Jewish targets outside the Palestinian territories and Israel.
He predicted that despite the threats, Hamas would not “change the rules of the game” by carrying out terrorist attacks abroad.
Hamas’s “foreign minister,” Osama Hamdan, hinted that his movement has no intention to launch terrorist attacks on Israelis and Jews around the world. “Hamas won’t be dragged to the square where the Israelis want to take us,” he said. “Hamas makes its decisions in a balanced manner and in accordance with the interests of the Palestinian people.”
