As Thursday evening turned into Friday morning in the Middle East, the Israel Defense Forces began a ground operation against Hamas targets following days of indiscriminate attacks from the Iranian funded and equipped terrorists.

Israel Defense Forces @IDF IDF air and ground troops are currently attacking in the Gaza Strip.

Shortly after the IDF announcement that ground troops were joining the air attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video in which he says "I said that we would charge a very heavy price from Hamas," adding "the last word was not said and this operation will continue as long as necessary."

As Katie reported Thursday morning, an IDF spokesperson confirmed that a ground invasion was an option on the table as Israel continued to launch successful air strikes against terrorist targets, taking out a number of key leaders behind this week's attacks on Israeli cities.

Israel has to watch the northern flank, Hezbullah has more rockets, better rockets. But, Lebanon has a lot of internal pressure right now and the majority of people of Lebanon don’t want Hezbullah running (ruining) the country.

"Moments ago, IDF jets and aircraft struck Hamas military intelligence offices in Gaza.

Before the strike, we warned civilians in the building & allowed sufficient time for them to evacuate the site."

Don't warn them, there are no innocent "civilians" in Hamas military intelligence offices. They are all terrorist accomplices. Bomb the building, destroy it, no warning.

Wrong. Idf spokesman said no troops have entered. Idf tanks, artillery, and other direct fire weapons have started significant attacks. This may well be artillery prep for an assault but as of about 15 minutes ago no troop invasion.

There was a brief moment when Palestinian and Israeli forces jointly patrolled Gaza and kept the peace. Iran and its terrorist organization Hamas would not allow that to stand.

Israel should never have relinquished control of Gaza. Now they should re-occupy the strip, destroy Hamas & all Iranian operatives, and permanently annex Gaza as part of the Jewish state.

Israel then should do the same in the West Bank, forcing out Abbas & the PA and shoving the Palestinians back into Jordan, from whence most came.

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Gotta go clean out some nests, even if it temporarily means more casualties on both sides. War is hell.

just wipe them out once and for all.

I concur with your sentiments.

However there will always be Jew hating muslims, and there won't be peace in our life times.

Western Civilization doesn't have the stomach to scour the earth of muslims, so it'll keep going on for eternity.

“just wipe them out once and for all”

I think you have to nuke Mekka and work out from there.

Hopefully minimal loss of life


If so, rinse and repeat. Peace when all Hamas members and supporters are dead - men women children - all of them, else they will just bide their time and come back again.

Please God, protect the men and women of the IDF, and may they be completely victorious against their enemies.

Amen!

“Can’t bomb a house full of kids to get one guy using them as human shields.”

Of course you can. Their deaths wouldn’t be on Israel they’d be on those Muzzie savages.
