WSJ sent one of their arab stringers to interview the neighbors. Their main complaint is that Hamas should keep hostages underground and not risk their (neighbors’) lives! of course, this might be what they say in public… Anyway, it appears that the houses were pretty flimsy, so neighbors do not sound believable that they “had no idea”. Thus, it well maybe that Hamas members presumed that they can rely on 100% support from their neighbors, but someone still spilled the information.
