15. This is a trifle on the tinfoil hat side...tying CNN in to it is hyperbole
False flag ops are always a concern in such confused circumstances, though I agree with other posts here that it could unravel and then there would be hell to pay.

If an extraction helo/bus/ship is shot at I would bet more on a Hezbollah/Hamas than the IDF. The former has little C3I and the shooter may think its an IDF activity. If the IDF shoots it will be with deliberate intent (ala the USS Liberty)

The average armed member of Hamas is a poor, poorly educated Muslim who know little to nothing about the rules of war. He will realize that its not his people and they are getting away, and under the circumstances may take a shot with whatever he has.
