Shahar Ilan, Haaretz Correspondent: Defense Minister Barak: Hamas is exhibiting signs of distress

Barak says "up to 300" Hamas fighters have been killed in the past six months. Various Israeli sources have put the Hamas membership at "up to" 50,000, with a virtually unlimited recruiting pool. Hamas is not quite on its last legs. Hamas has not stopped the Qassams, nor have they returned Shalit. It`s hard to imagine what Barak is thinking of when he says that Hamas is exhibiting signs of distress. As most with most statements from Israels government, there seems to be a disconnection with reality and an affinity for a world of the imagination.
