(CNN) — Israel's defense minister has warned that Israel has "many, many more targets" and no time limit on its military operations against Gaza, as the Israeli military and Palestinian militants continue to exchange deadly airstrikes and rocket bombardments.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Hidai Zilberman said Israel was considering a ground incursion into Gaza, but stressed that any decision would "take days."
Three Israeli brigades are currently deployed around Gaza. When asked by Israel Channel 12 News whether the troop movements were paving the way for a ground invasion, Zilberman responded: "We are amassing forces on the border, getting them prepared. Soldiers are learning the terrain. Getting ready. We will activate them when we decide to activate them. We have the initiative. We have time."
