Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday that the IDF will launch a crushing ground operation in Gaza “within hours,” according to Channel 2.
The Security and Diplomacy Cabinet met Thursday evening to discuss the next stages of Operation Protective Edge.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reportedly intends to give a statement later in the evening.
The IDF on Thursday afternoon contacted by phone Arab residents of Gaza living near the security border, warning them to evacuate their homes immediately. The phone calls were made to a total of roughly 100,000 Arab residents of the Hamas stronghold.
The phone warnings indicate that the operation may be moving into a new stage and entering a ground offensive.

Hamas really stepped in it this time….

…
(b) Uses in any way radioactive material or a device, or uses or damages a nuclear facility in a manner which releases or risks the release of radioactive material:
(i) With the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury; or
(ii) With the intent to cause substantial damage to property or to the environment; or
(iii) With the intent to compel a natural or legal person, an international organization or a State to do or refrain from doing an act.
2. Any person also commits an offence if that person:
(a) Threatens, under circumstances which indicate the credibility of the threat, to commit an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 (b) of the present article;
Hamas has just violated this convention multiple times, both by firing the rockets and by threatening to fire more. “

Any time you drain a swamp here in Louisiana, you’re always surprised by what you find that was once hidden underwater.
