Israeli ground troops continue to push deeper into the Gaza Strip today, backed by tanks and artillery fire, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to “significantly widen” the offensive in the days to come.
The ground invasion began Thursday afternoon, after the brief “humanitarian ceasefire” ended, and the death toll is once again spiking, with at least 341 now confirmed killed on the Palestinian side, with the wounded toll approaching 2,400. One Israeli civilian was killed in a mortar strike earlier this week, and an Israeli soldier was reported slain today during the invasion.
Exactly how much the invasion will expand remains to be seen, through the Israeli military called up another 18,000 reservists last night in anticipation of it, and all Israeli officials seem to be talking up broad new attacks.
In addition to the direct casualties of the Israeli attacks, the UN is warning of a growing refugee crisis, noting over 40,000 internally displaced Palestinians have applied for UN sanctuary now. The World Food Program is looking to send more food aid into the strip, though their ability to do that remains unclear, particularly with Israeli politicians openly calling for all food to be cut off from the enclave as part of the current war.
Yet another sick puppy aggression by that sick puppy government.
When will Israel ever go to disappear to make the world a better place?
Amen!
It's all about gas and oil resources, and gaining control of those before Gaza finalizes a deal with Russia to develop that stuff. Hamas is a sideshow, and the civilian slaughter is to cow the population into agreeing to anything to make it stop.
Follow the money- who benefits? Take one guess.
Exactly right. For those that haven't read about this the link below provides some insight.

Pure Genocide.
It is intentional.They push as hard as the can ,in order to provoke reaction.this way they drag the peaceful people into violent actions and finally ,wars.
It seems to be common ground on all the "political decisions" the leaders of our world are making these days…In every aspect,economy,defence,whatever ,they are pushing.It seems the end is near or something…..otherwise i can not explain this urge to grab,steal,kill,take over,opress,torture ,without any logic everywhere….and wherever there is peace and ressistence from logic ,they are trying their best to sabotage it..
So ,whats the solution?hmm…start fresh.start from your self.Stop working for the few,the rich the powerfull,stop using their products,their services,turn to alternatives.boycott every big corporation on every level,every investing fund and stop spending your hard earned cash for a while.Find the balance in your life ,the balance they are so hard trying to make you forget ……and then there will be peace……oh and stop making these weapons man…it is not a job to work for a factory that makes guns,or even for a research for weapons.or even for research for anything really funded by these corporations…yes i know what i am asking you is to stop the world…..
stop it for a whiloe,and you will find that the few,the powerfuls leave as fast as flees leave a smoking barel…the parasites need you to be active so they can feed…if you stop ,you stop feeding them too…..
And by the time you start again ,they ll be gone..dead and gone most probably,killed by their own competitors,other blood thirsty vultures….
what an idea eh?…..
wake up now!
Diana Magnay's "Israeli Scum " tweet is the only factual reporting to come out of the US media.
A human life means nothing to the murdering Zionist scum.
Bibi's scheme is to get his filthy hands on the 4 billion
bucks worth of gas reserves in Gaza. This war criminal
knows he can continue his murdering rampage without hearing
a peep out of Washington.
AIPAC's 30 pieces of silver bought the stooge in the Oval Office,
and most of the whores and prostitutes in the USG Congress.
