Greg F prior to the announcement of this rapprochement between Fatah and Hamas how many Israelis have been kidnapped in either the West Bank or East Jerusalem?

Now we do know, and there is evidence to link, the practice of kidnapping Israelis is a standard tactic for Hamas in Gaza and for Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon (Although in the case of the latter the last time they tried it in 2006 they ended up bitterly regretting it). So for all of a sudden kidnapping to appear in an area where before it has not occurred for years who would be your main suspects?

Greg F prior to the announcement of this rapprochement between Fatah and Hamas how many rockets or mortars have been fired into Israel from either the West Bank or East Jerusalem? If all of a sudden that now started to happen who would be your prime suspects?

Abbas should not only be "lashing out" verbally at those responsible for kidnapping these teenagers, every single law enforcement officer and member of the Palestinian security and intelligence services should be ripping the place apart searching for them NOT the IDF.
