The fear and confusion stems from the possibility that the presumably highly compartmentalized information on al-Mabhouh's mission might have been leaked from within Hamas, or through compromised means of communication. Certainly Hamas as an organization won't be intimidated.

What will be interesting--and in this regard, the operation could have negative consequences for Israel--is whether Hamas lifts its self-prohibition on external operations (ie, those outside Palestine) to retaliate against an Israeli target in a third country.

My only gripe is that nobody seems to see an issue with some supposed man of the people living the high life in Dubai.
He appears to have been in Dubai for operational reasons, Schmedlap--he didn't live there
