GAZA CITY - Israeli warplanes pressing one of Israel's deadliest assaults ever on Palestinian militants dropped bombs and missiles on a top security installation, smuggling tunnels and dozens of other targets across Hamas-ruled Gaza on Sunday.
Israel called up 6,500 reserve soldiers and moved infantry and armoured units to the Gaza border for a possible ground invasion. Some 280 Palestinians died in the first 24 hours of the campaign against Gaza rocket squads.

If you going bet on this war
Take IDF and TAKE THE POINTS
Why doesn’t the IDF just move some artillery up there and reduce the friggin’ place?
Typical AP. More drama in the presentation than facts.
They’re probably fueling up the D-10s as we speak.
a one-way/one-time travel document for passage into Egypt through the tunnels should be distributed to the 2 legged creatures of Gaza before it is flattened, sterilized, and then normalized.
More pin pricks. It should be more like 280,000.
That my friend, would be a war crime. Just because you live in the Gaza doesn't mean you are a POS member of the Hamas.
They (Hamas) have proven that Southern Israel will never have normalcy until Gaza is scraped clean and the rubble is used for jetties and reefs.
They need to continue the push and not bow to the political pressure. Hammas is on the ropes and can’t get it’s feet on the ground yet. They need to keep it that way until they diminish their ability to continue to attack Israel.
Yes, the dozen or so not affiliated by Hamas should be moved out of harm’s way..
And they need to reclaim and repopulate.
And the constant murder of Israeli citizens is what?When Israelis and Americans get murdered these scum dance in the streets of Gaza-nobody’s innocent there.
it’s not a war crime anymore than allied bombing of Germany was a war crime, and unlike Nazi Germany the ENTIRE population of Gaza are Nazis (muslims) and thus are legitimate targets.
And another thing - who gave them the right to live in Gaza in the first place? it’s not Arab land and we should have kicked them out of there even if they weren’t shooting at us.
“That my friend, would be a war crime.”
To disagree friend, the actual war crime is the deliberate intermingling of civilians and combatants.
Israel from what I’ve seen is not doing that. They are targeting training sites and warehouses of Hamas.
Launch sites of the Kassam etc. rockets, some placed in civilian areas, schools and day care centers.
Were you or yours hit be one of the hundreds of rockers fired by Hamas you may not care too much about fair play.
I believe what Israel SHOULD do is just invade the Gaza strip and kill all the Hamas and pull out... but that would be too radical for most of the world... (sigh).
How do you suggest they sort the Hamas guys from the rest of the population? And, judging by the size of the enthusiastic, blood-lusting crowds who show up to celebrate Israeli deaths, the percentage of people who just want to coexist peacefully isn't large.
Memo to Israel:
Kick ass now.
Take names later.
