They stand to gain the same thing they've been gaining for years. Look
at the way this story is being presented - the focus is on the
invasion. The fact that Hamas facilitated the kidnapping of an Israeli
is reduced to a detail in the background.

Israel will invade, the Palestinian side will make sure that there are
civilians in the way of the invasion, and everyone will point fingers
at Israel for being the aggressor.

If by some miracle Israel does not invade, it will be seen as a sign of
weakness and will encourage more acts of terror.

It is a win-win situation for Hamas.

Okay that makes sense. I keep forgetting that Hamas sees Palestinian
civilians as expendable assets.

It seems to be a common theme amoung the muslim extremists. Civilians
on both sides are pawns; those belonging to the enemy are open to be
killed, and those belonging to them are used as shields.
