Today, the BBC's bird in Jerusalem, Yoland Knell, just repeated the Israeli government line that this move is to 'rest' the militia/army, who aren't professional soldiers... that's all right then. No need for verification. She then used the term 'hiding' when describing Hamas leaders in Gaza. I think the term 'hiding' is very problematic indeed. It makes them sound like they are on the run and cowering from a legitimate legal authority, like criminals on the run.
