D'ya think we disrupted the main bomb factory?
Yes. The only successful suicide bomber since then was from Hebron, which was not included in the original operation. Then they went into Hebron for a few days, and since then, so far, so good.
YUP!

Despite heavy losses, politburo chairman says more suicide attacks are to come
Q. Hamas is being criticized for stopping suicide operations. Critics say that you gave the Israelis an excuse to invade, and then decided to sit back.
A. It is only natural that a period of calm should follow Israels invasion and crimes. The resistance has sustained heavy losses; its leaderships, cadres and equipment have been hit hard. Sharons invasion of Palestinian lands has been unprecedented in scope. It involved 40,000 troops, thousands of tanks and scores of warplanes and helicopter gunships. The resistance is now in a self-defense mode; it is licking its wounds and preparing to seize the initiative once again.
The Palestinian resistance has a great capacity for steadfastness, and is able to regroup and resume its activities. What took place at the Jenin refugee camp was a victory for us. Jenin was different from Sabra and Shatila. In Jenin, the massacres happened against the backdrop of a Palestinian victory that lifted the morale of our people.
