A spokesman said the coming phase could include, what he called, combined and co ordinated strikes from the air, sea and land. The goal, he said, was to completely destroy the governing and military capabilities of hamas. Its a week since hamas, classed as a Terrorist Organisation by many western governments, including the uk, killed more than 1,300 people in israel and took dozens hostage. Israel has warned the 1. 1 million civilians in gazas north to move south beyond the wadi gaza here. The Military Spokesperson said they should not return until israel said they could do so.

On saturday, israels Prime Minister visited some of his troops and asked them if they are ready for the next stage. 0ur C
