Egypt won't keep the border open for long, they have their own problems with the Palestinians.
Of course and it has worked beyond Hamas's wildest dreams, the IDF's response to almost anything has become predictably heavy handed, they have lost any sense of measured response which Hamas has used to further isolate Israel.
