This is a very brave, and very sensible action from some Palastinians. A martyr is willing to die for their people, but a hero would much rather live for them. ( I forget where the quote is from)

I just hope that this is not taken advange of. If some group sees this working, and starts firing rockets from the roof of a building, whilst it is surrounded in this way, then this presents the Israeli millitary with the unenviable choice of letting the bombardment continue, or enduring the storm of outrage the media and international community will let loose if they strike at this millitary target.
