What many have been waiting for for what seems like forever.  Israel has finally begun the difficult task of uprooting Hamas once and for all. The ground assault has begun

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli tanks and infantry entered Gaza after nightfall Saturday, launching a ground offensive that the military said would be a “lengthy operation” in a widening war on Gaza’s Hamas rulers.

Heavy gun battles were reported as troops crossed the border into Gaza. Local TV networks broadcast images of troops marching into Gaza after dark.

“We have many many targets,” Maj. Avital Leibovich told CNN. “To my estimation, it will be a lengthy operation.” She said the goal of the operation was to take over the areas used by militants to launch rockets against Israel.

“The civilians are not our target, only militants, Hamas militants,” she said

Here’s hoping no cease fire is reached, but that Israel finishes the job once and for all…

    with the better technology, Israel should be able to do a good job of reducing hamas to nothing in a short time.
    Just hope they don't stop to soon and hamas gets to grow again.
