A couple of tips from Israeli intelligence
Israel television just reported that Hamas is preventing the burial of some 200 of its terrorists whose bodies are lying in Shifa Hospital in Gaza out of fear of demoralizing its forces.Senior Hamas terrorists are wandering around Gaza City disguised as reporters and doctors.

Heh. I've never seen a war in which one side is afraid to die for its beliefs. And Hamas keeps telling us they are in love with death. Yeah, right!
Keep the dead lying about. How much more demoralizing can burial be if you have tons of rotting flesh lying about.
There is this bizarre aspect of terrorism that, although effective to a point, just about guarantees its failure. The terrorist, no matter what, wants to die. Soldiers usually want the other side's soldiers to die.
So they don't want to demoralize their own troops by burying the bodies, wanting people to see dead gunmen in the streets (after they salvage the guns and ammo first). I can't think of anything more demoralizing for soldiers to see.
This is equivalent to making vasectomies mandatory to increase the population.
You got it wrong, Naftali. Terrorists want to live to fight another day. Take the Hamas leaders - they say Israel's weakness is her love of life. In truth, their weakness is their love of death. Skilled terrorists are not that easily replaceable, at least in the short term. Hamas took a severe blow but won't admit it. If they could have done it all over again, they wouldn't have tangled with Israel. And there's the news their Iranian sponsors will cut off their funding if they agree to the French-Egyptian ceasefire proposal. Iran wants them to fight Israel to the end. Their leaders want to stay alive. This is where their anti-Israel ideology collides head-long with reality.
>NormanF : you're mistaken .. those 200 are NOT "skilled terrorists", but they are now "Good terrorists" . I would suggest that [all] the up and coming "terrorist want to be's" should go somewhere secluded, and practice suicide bombing, alone, or with their pals. THEN : they, too, would be "good terrorists".

Hey : put those 200 in one of their "tunnels" ; and the IDF will bury them !
