Just one week after hamas executed that horrific and seismic Terrorist Attack on southern israel, 1400 people have been killed in israel so far. And more than 2300 in gaza. 29 americans were also killed, and 15 remain missing, according to the state department. Today, the Prime Minister conveyed his emergency israeli cabinet, and said that hamas thought wed be demolished. Its we who will demolish hamas. Thats after three senior Israeli Military officers were telling the New York Times that Israeli Forces are preparing to invade the gaza strip in the coming days. Their ultimate goal, according to the reporting, is to capture gaza city. Destroy the enclaves current leadership, and wipe out the top political and Military Hierarchy of hamas.
