Israel

The Israel Defense Force has launched a ground operation into Gaza. “The objective is to destroy the Hamas terror infrastructure in the area of operations,” an IDF spokesman said. Dozens of Hamas fighters were killed and 28 Israeli soldiers were reported wounded, two seriously. Tens of thousands of IDF reservists have been called to active duty. Hamas has murdered 35 Palestinian “collaborators” with Israel and crippled 75 Fatah supporters.
