Israel Stunned By Hamas Capability

TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israel's military has been stunned by what sources
acknowledged marked a dramatic increase in Hamas' combat capability.
Military sources said the Hamas-aligned assault on southern Egypt on
Aug. 18 marked one of the most daring and professional attacks ever carried
out by Hamas or any other Palestinian force. They said up to 25 members of
Hamas and the Popular Resistance Committees conducted a coordinated
multi-mission operation in which eight Israelis were killed and 33 injured.
