I'll bet this is disinformation...

From Rantburg:

...However, the source revealed that IDF helicopters also had "human" assistance on the ground. The Israeli claimed that his government has "been successful" in obtaining the "assistance" of Palestinians within Hamas. In short, the official claimed that individuals "sympathetic" to Israel have been key in helping Jerusalem "eliminate" the two former Hamas leaders.

The official hinted that the "sympathetic" Hamas individuals may have actually planted homing devices in the cars of the two leaders, allowing the IDF to attack with stunning success. "Do not be surprised, we know more about their (Hamas) activities than most people know. And now, they (Hamas) have begin to realize it themselves...

Suppose Israel just got lucky in killing two terrorists in a small space of time.

When better to "leak" that you have informers inside the organization? With any luck, instead of murdering women and children in Israel, they will start murdering each other...Couldn't happen to a nicer buncha guys.

Here here!
Did you hear the bit about how the next Hamas leader will be kept secret? The question I have is how any of them (Hamas) can live with themselves long enough for Israel to kill them. Of course, many of them don’t...

And Rantisi, a pediatrician, makes himself hard to hit by surrounding himself with chidren! Unbelievable.

Charlene says hi and says (I wasn't sure myself) that it should be "Hear Hear." It comes from Law French: "Oyez Oyez."

I agree, absolutly no way in hell would the IDF puplicly reveal intelligence sources inside Hamas, they would be worth their weight in gold.

They tracked and killed those scumbags by other means, they're just trying to disrupt hamas' communications by making them distrust each other. It's not a particuarly cunning ploy, but considering the paranoid morons they're up against it just might work.
