Wednesday, 31 December 2008Bethlehem – Ma’an – The next two days present Israel with the difficult decision of whether to bow to international pressure and accept a ceasefire or to order a ground invasion.
Security sources told Israel’s Army Radio that decision makers in Israel will decide soon whether or not to accept the building calls for a ceasefire or to send military forces on a wide-scale ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Sources did say that the original airstrikes, which have killed nearly 400 Palestinians, were successful.
In the same regard, an Israeli army spokesperson claimed that investigations demonstrate that all three Hamas-run government compounds in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City were completely destroyed in overnight airstrikes.
And another senior military official told Israel’s Channel 10 that several Hamas establishments in the Gaza Strip were crippled by air raids, including workshops where homemade projectiles and explosives were being manufactured.
However, the same source noted that Hamas’s militant wings had not suffered any major damage.
