Israel threatens ground invasion of Gaza
The Middle East is on the brink of a ground war. The Israeli government is warning of a ground war as the back and forth air strikes with Hamas intensifies. According to Israel, militants fired more than 130 rockets at the Jewish state.
Ground operations in Gaza 'might become necessary,' Israeli official says
Israel says its Iron Drome Missile defense system has intercepted a number of those attacks. Israel also unleashed an air assault of its own, aimed at crippling the militants rocket-launching ability.
At the U.S. embassy in Tel-Aviv, people were rushed to an underground shelter.
How close is Israel to launching a ground invasion?
OutFront, Israel's Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer.

Israel is a terrorist state
People do not understand how it is to live In Israel everyday. Israel does not strike unless provoked. How would all these left interest groups feel if their children were being fired on everyday. Hamas is at fault, not Israel. Hamas is a terrorist group and do not value life including themselves, when they stop firing missiles, then Israel will too. Bottom line we value life and they don't!

You are reporting the news not your opinion.
Clearly, the Ambassador took Erin to school. St. Andrew's and Williams are great schools, but I think that Erin was taught something about weak moral equivalencies in this exchange that she did not learn in even the best of schools that she attended. There is simply no moral equivalency between the arsonist (Hamas) and the fire brigade (Israel).
