IDF Begins New Phase in War Against Hamas
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF troops that entered Gaza on Friday night advanced on Saturday several more kilometers into Palestinian territory. The forces encountered several terrorists and hit them. The operation destroyed terrorist infrastructure and damaged long-range rocket launch sites. The forces are operating in an area with a very sparse population. Hamas said its men clashed overnight "with IDF forces in Beit Hanoun, in the northeast of Gaza, and in Borij in the center of Gaza." IDF Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Herzi Halevi said Saturday: "Today we are entering a new phase. Our forces are currently carrying out ground operations in the Strip, which are accompanied by accurate and heavy fire....In order to expose the enemy and destroy him, there is no other way but to forcefully enter his territory."
