Just in case you were wondering how much Hamas has built up its military in the last few years, a new intelligence estimate puts its armed fighting force in the Gaza strip now at about 20,000 soldiers, including many who trained in Syria and Iran. It’s a hell of a lot of guns for a piece of land roughly the size of Brooklyn and Queens combined, with a much smaller population. Every day Hamas looks less like a “terrorist group” and more like a terror army: think the PLO in the 1980′s or Hezbollah today.
