Soon in Gaza? IDF Paratroopers Train for Urban Warfare, Israel National News, Yoni Kempinski, Tova Dvorin, July 14, 2014
Seven days after Operation Protective Edge began to stop a constantbarrage of rocket fire from Gaza, the IDF has begun training its paratroopers for a ground offensive.
Arutz Sheva obtained footage of the training exercises, all of which feature tactics for urban warfare.
The Security Cabinet approved an order to call up 40,000 soldiers for reserve duty ahead of a possible ground offensive last week.
As of Sunday morning, roughly 33,000 reserve soldiers were estimated to have been called up, as preparations to deepen the offensive against Hamas and Islamic Jihad continues.

If Bibi now lets Hamas / Iran get away with just another cease fire, he is disqualifying himself as the PM of Israel. There is now no other answer to Hamas / Iranian agression than total destruction of Hamas !
Everything else would be a slap in the face of the Nation of Israel ! The Nation of Israel has a very powerful army – its purpose is to defend the citizens of Israel against any agression. If the PM is incapable or unwilling to give the army the green light to do what has to be done – then the PM must quickly step down and give way to a leader who is capable and willing to defend the Nation !
