via Israel News – Minister Erdan in a Powerful Message to Hamas: “We Are Nearing a Ground Operation” – JerusalemOnline.

In light of the growing frustration among the people of the South, many of whom decided to leave their homes in the wake of the constant firing, Member of the Cabinet, Minister Gilad Erdan said tonight (Saturday) that Israel is closer to a new incursion into Gaza. “Has this decision been made? Not yet. But we are closer to it than we ever were,” Erdan said in an interview with Channel 2 News.

“I certainly sympathize with the feelings of the southern residents, who should be saluted for their courage and determination, and we promise that this operation will not end as the situation is at the present-what was will not be,” Erdan stressed. His statements come one day after a 4-year-old child, Daniel Tregerman was killed by a mortar shell in an Eshkol Regional Council community. “You have to have patience and you have to have determination,” said Erdan.

The minister added, “we cannot go back to the situation that the crossings will be open so that Hamas can rebuild all the capabilities they have lost in this operation, and they lost a lot of capabilities – the tunnels, a considerable part of its rocket structure and some leaders of the organization in IDF targeted killings.”

“Hamas continues to fire and this will not work. Currently, I believe, there is a connection Israel’s response policy, and the nearing of a ground operation,” stressed the minister and Cabinet member. “Hamas continues its attrition and we continue ours from the air, but it is not a condition that can last for weeks. The purpose of the ground operation could be full occupation and the collapse of Hamas rule, or specific attacks on the organization’s divisions.”
