"I find similarity between 7.10 and the invasion of the Arab armies on 1948"

Dr. Yehiel Shabi, Bar Ilan University: "For years, Hamas tested Israeli intensity on the fence, Israeli resilience, Israeli vigilance. And as soon as they realized that the Israelis were not vigilant, they believed that they would come in, seize territory, settle people there and take the State of Israel hostage. Fortunately for us, the people of Israel have come to their senses."
