I hate to say it, but wouldn't Hamas rather hand over 1 guy than have this happen?

Yep. This is why they "gave" Gaza back ... that it could be a true buffer, no man's land etc.

Hamas "politician" [sic] shown in an interview on Fox. Says Israel's actions will only further endanger the IDF soldier's situation. Sounds like Hamas knows that they won't be handing the soldier back to Israel intact... :-(

Ever try doing business with them? Its virtually impossible. In business your integrity and word is often your bond which is where the whole thing breaks down. Islam is truely civilizations boat anchor.

Nope, they want this to happen. They will take out Abbas over this. Remember, their leadership is no where near the fighting. Their leadership is in Syria and Iran.

There should be a general roundup of Hamas leadership during this time, including those Hamas who have been elected to office.

No known Hamas member should be left at liberty by the time they finish.

Hamas has declared itself at war with Israel many times, and even yet has not disavowed war. And then there is the "missile attack" thing to consider. Missile attacks usually are shorthand for "act of war".

They should go through Gaza street by street engaging any and all who come out to play, while rounding up known members.

If the hostages are not returned alive, the fence should be moved forward a kilometer for each death, and the area left outside the new fence should be bulldozed clean and its former inhabitants pushed across the fence.

Air strikes and sonic booms shook Gaza on Wednesday as thousands of Israeli troops backed by tanks penetrated the impoverished coastal strip

Dozens of Palestinian militants — armed with automatic weapons and grenades — took up positions, bracing for attack

Hmmm Dozens of Palestinians militants armed with AK 47s and Grenades against thousands of Israeli troops armed with tanks and artillery. Hmmmmm.

I think Israel is ready to really teach some Muslims a lesson. I think the Palestinians will kill the Soldier and the other hostages. If they do, I look for Israel to kill lots and lots of Palestinians in return.

They might just kill a lot of Syrians as well. This looks to me like a Major Israeli action.

Not scary if you've read the end of the Book - but certainly exciting. "when these things begin to happen, look up, for your salvation draweth nigh)

An Israeli soldier holds his ears as an Israeli mobile artillery unit fires a shell at the Gaza Strip from a stretch of farmland located near the Israeli Kibbutz Nahal Oz. The United States offered support for Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip, blamed Hamas for the incursion, and urged the Palestinian militant group to free a captured Israeli soldier.(AFP/David Furst)

You're right, there is no doing business with them. They're taught from the earliest ages of comprehension to lie, cheat, steal, rape, murder, etc...

Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, right, meets with parliament member Mustafa Barghouti in Gaza City, Monday, June 19, 2006. Days after spiriting suitcases full of cash into the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-led Palestinian government distributed emergency payments of $300 USD (235 euros) on Monday to thousands of desperate civil servants who haven't received salaries in nearly four months.
