Well, judging from what the other guys said, they didn't. I mean, he seems to think Hamas taking 200+ hostage and the Israeli will only want to talk....Hamas must of thought through their resistance , the Palestinians have huge experience in fighting the Israelis. The high civilian death toll will make them stronger. The key to battle for Palestine is: do the Palestinians have a supply line of weapons and can the Israeli public stomach the losses of IDF soldiers. Gaza is an ideal ground for guerilla warfare and like the German Nazi forces in Stalingrad the Israeli Nazi forces will pay a dear price.
Regardless, you are talking about an area boxed in by Israel in 2 side, with a coast on the other and blocked by Egypt on the remaining side, whether how much Hamas can extract from Israel, this is going to be like shooting fish in the barrel and there are going to be an insurmountable Palestinian casualty simply because they can't go anywhere. Which make even if Hamas or Palestinian can extract anything from this, this is always going to be pyrrhic..
