'Martyrdom' = victory?

Victory - that word has a lot of meanings for Hamas, and you can rest assured that when all this current do is over they will find a meaning that suits.

Wow, who knew the Black Knight was Palestinian?

Haniye sounds like Reg (John Clease) the revolutionary leader in Monty Python's Life of Brian who proclaims to his group after a screwup:
"Comrades, this Total Disaster is only the Glorious Beginning!"

Arkaky: "Wow, who knew the Black Knight was Palestinian?"
Is that from another Monty Python movie, "The Search for the Holy Grail"?

According to Haaretz:
"Sources: Hamas leaders hiding in basement of Israel-built hospital in Gaza" at http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/...es/ 1054569.html
(hat tip to Little Green Footballs)
Since there is no Iranian diplomatic mission in Gaza, guess a hospital is the best place available to hide.

Well, good, maybe the Gaza City fighting will be less dangerous and more one-sided than previously imagined.

I guess they will have the same victory that Egypt had in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973.

Akaky -

David - you guessed right.

Dick - we are not in the city as such. I would say that it looks like we'll not go there eventually. Which is both a good and a bad thing, but this is how it goes.

Katie - no matter, the moment ceasefire is declared you will hear the trumpets of victory from under the hospital...

Ah, that figures. Big Media reported IDF was moving into the city. Guess they didn't know. Surprise, surprise.
