Breaking: It's On! IDF Ground Forces Storm Into Gaza


May G_d protect the brave soldiers of the IDF as yes, it has started - the IDF has moved into Gaza. Here is the breaking report out of Reuters:


A column of Israeli tanks, some firing their weapons, rolled into the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday, a Palestinian witness said, in what appeared to be the beginning of a ground offensive against Islamist Hamas.
The Israeli military confirmed that a force had entered the Gaza Strip to seize some areas used to launch rockets.
The witness, a resident of the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, said the column crossed the boundary fence under cover of darkness, accompanied by Israeli combat helicopters.
The witness could not immediately say how deep the Israelis had penetrated into Palestinian territory.

This is going to be a busy day here at Holger Awakens and I will try to post as much of the breaking news as possible.

All I can say is this...if this is the full commitment by Israel then do the job right. DESTROY HAMAS ONCE AND FOR ALL! There is going to be Israeli blood spilled, we must brace ourselves for that. And we must also brace ourselves for the world's condemnation of the invasion. But the important thing is that the IDF eradicates the Hamas menace from this world. Drive them to the sea, IDF.


Israeli ground force enters Gaza Strip

GAZA (Reuters) - A column of Israeli tanks, some firing their weapons, rolled into the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday, a Palestinian witness said, in what appeared to be the beginning of a ground offensive against Islamist Hamas.
The Israeli military confirmed that a force had entered the Gaza Strip to seize some areas used to launch rockets.
The witness, a resident of the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, said the column crossed the boundary fence under cover of darkness, accompanied by Israeli combat helicopters.
The witness could not immediately say how deep the Israelis had penetrated into Palestinian territory.
Israeli tanks and soldiers had been poised on the Gaza Strip border preparing for a possible ground offensive, as militants kept up rocket strikes on southern Israel in defiance of international calls for it to halt such attacks.
"I hope the results of this operation will bring about quiet in the long term. The moment they fire, we will respond with great force," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said on Israeli TV.
"It could be that several operations will be needed."
Witnesses said an air strike on a mosque in the town of Beit Lahiya took place as people prayed inside. At least 11 civilians, including children, were killed and 50 wounded, Hamas and medical officials said.
Rescuers pulled people from the debris and the bodies of victims lay in pools of blood, the witnesses said.
