Earlier, its interesting, the timing, its been about three weeks now since that first attack by hamas. What you make of the timing and we should not say that this is the awaited Ground Incursion but this is maybe the most significant Military Action we have seen.

However, every few minutes or so, the sky is lit up by explosions, as you just saw that they are followed often by a cracking sound, that orange flash. We have been witnessing to me just pausing there for the sound, we been witnessing this over the last few hours now since just before the idf made that announcement confirming their operational changes, the increase in bombardment to the outcome of the expansion of Ground Forces. They say they are targeting
