Will IDF Mount Ground Assault After Air Strikes?
From debka article ...
The first objective of a ground force in the coming hours will be to destroy "Lower Gaza," the underground city designed by an Iranian general and spread under most of the enclave's area. This subterranean sanctuary kept the bulk of the Hamas army, 15,000 men, their officers and leaders, out of harm's way during the Israeli air offensive Saturday. Their resistance must be broken before Hamas can be brought to surrender. Until then they will fight on.
The second Israeli objective must be to sever the Gaza Strip from Egypt by recapturing the Philadelphi border strip.
Update 1 ... Israeli Air Force photos and descriptions of some of the Hamas targets
Update 2 ... A Year of Intel Gathering leads to Alpha Hits on 170 Targets in Air Strikes
Update 3 Sunday 9AM CST ... IAF air strikes hitting smuggling tunnels on Gaza-Egypt border, 6,500 IDF reservists called up in sign of possible ground attack. IDF tanks shelling targets from just outside gaza border.
