THE PENDING BATTLE FOR THE SINAI... HAMAS' ROLE???



As of today, it's now mystery the Egyptian Military is about to launch a major operation in the Sinai and it's also no mystery, the Egyptian Military is prepared to inflict serious harm on Hamas if it's members make the disastrous decision to get involved.

A disastrous decision I think some of their more radical elements may make, thus bringing pain onto all of Hamas.

General Sisi and his Commanders are more than confident on the issue of Hamas support to the Muslim Brotherhood and it's armed support groups.

As I have said for over two weeks now, the destruction of the tunnel complex, the ones the Egyptians want to disrupt, not all of them, and the surveillance of Gaza has been executed for a reason.

General Sisi's speech to the Egyptian people yesterday was more than just a statement, plea, to his supporters.

More importantly, it was a dire warning to his enemies!!!

" We know where you are and we are coming to get you"!!

That was the underlying message from Sisi and his Commanders.

Now, doest that mean the streets of the Egyptian Capital are going to run red with blood on Friday?

Not necessarily!

You see, my bet is Sisi's intent was to prepare the Egyptian people and the people in the region for what they are going to witness taking place in the Sinai.

Keeping order in the streets of the major cities in Egypt while simultaneously attacking the radical strongholds in the Sinai; I think that is the real intent of Sisi's message.

  I can name you one group that absolutely believes this to be the case.

Hamas!!!

In this linked article, it's easy to see just how worried Hamas is about the public perception of Hamas' relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood.

If I was a betting man, I would place a month's wages on the fact that Hamas is doing everything in their power to keep anything and I mean anything from launching from Gaza towards Egypt.

Hamas is convinced the Egyptian Military and the IDF have struck a deal and Hamas has never found themselves is a worse position than the one they are being squeezed into.


Ok, here comes the bad news, at least bad from the viewpoint of Hamas leadership.

The ability of Hamas to control the radical elements living in Gaza is zero!!!!

If every there was a time to give up the location and intentions of Hamas' rivals in Gaza, the next 24hrs has got to be it.

Some will argue the Egyptian Military operation has been taking place in the Sinai for over two weeks now, but what we have witnessed is far short of what Egypt is most likely preparing to execute.

Remember, the emphasis of Sisi's speech was on "Terrorist" and the actions to remove the threat.

That time is almost here and everyone near the Sinai knows it.

One last thought, but it's a critical one.

What is Hamas' option if they begin to pay the price for the actions of "others" around them they cannot control?

Lets see what happens in the next 48 hrs.
