Israel’s Operation in Gaza Spreads Beyond Just Tunnels -- Time

In overnight strikes on Monday by aircraft, tanks and navy gunboats, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attacked 150 targets in Gaza, including the home and office of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh’s home, the influential Shujaiyeh battalion commander’s home and the Ministry of Finance, as well as al-Aqsa Radio and al-Aqsa Television, two media outlets operated by Hamas.

My Comment: To live in Gaza must be pure hell right now .... this is why this analysis from the Jerusalem Post is probably right. My prediction ....
