I've Been Thinking:

There is now a strong link between Hezbollah and Hamas.
Hezbollah is training Hamas in the art and tactics of guerrilla warfare.
Hezbollah is training Hamas in the strategies of missile strikes.

The exercises have been going on for a few weeks in Sinai Desert camps. Terrorist training camps, a la al Qaeda training camps.

Israel is aware - but can do nothing about it. Israel can't bomb the camps, they are in Egypt. So they informed Egypt and now Egypt is investigating and will probably make arrests and destroy the camps this coming week.
By then it will be too late.

Most of the essential information and training will already have been passed on. Most of the senior people will be long gone before the Egyptian raid.
The information and the training will have reached Gaza, the new experts will have begun teaching new recruits and on and on it will go.

This could have been nipped in the bud.
Instead, the decision was made to go the diplomatic route.
It was a decision that, in the end, will hurt both Egypt and Israel.
