Ground invasion looking likely: "Every Hamas member is a dead man," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech yesterday, accompanied by his newly formed wartime cabinet, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and opposition leader Benny Gantz. "Hamas is ISIS, and we will crush and eliminate it just as the world crushed and eliminated ISIS."
"Israel is in one of its darkest hours ever," said Gantz. Following this past weekend's massacre of Israelis by Hamas, the military is sending troops to the Gaza border, which signals the increasing likelihood of a ground invasion. Israeli airline El Al will, for the first time since the 1980s, fly on Shabbat, carrying army reservists back from around the world.
