BBC News wrote:
Air strikes kill at least 225 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, medics say, as Israel targets Hamas militants with the heaviest raids on Gaza for decades.

There will be a ground raid.

Supply tunnels hit
A major tunnel bringing fuel into Gaza from Egypt was among three destroyed, Palestinians say. But Israel says its jets bombed more than 40 tunnels.
Israel accuses Palestinian militants of using the tunnels to smuggle weapons into Gaza.

A significant cultural symbol of Hamas
Warplanes also struck Hamas government offices as air raids aimed at forcing Palestinian militants to halt rocket fire into southern Israel continued.

Movin' in.
Israel has carried out more than 800 strikes on the Gaza Strip since launching the offensive eight days ago, including 40 on Saturday.
A BBC reporter in Gaza says it appears to be a limited operation with 10 to 15 vehicles crossing the northern borde

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7822786.stm
Palestinian doctors say the total number of Palestinians who have been killed since the Israeli offensive began on 27 December is 879. Thirteen Israelis - 10 soldiers and three civilians - have died.
Two Norwegian doctors, who have been working in the Gaza Strip, say the main hospital is close to collapse, and that patients are dying because of a lack of specialist doctors and basic medical equipment.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said Israel is nearing the goals of its military campaign in the Gaza Strip, as he signalled it would continue.

    a buddy of mine lives in Tel Aviv

    he called this one a while ago, because he can more or less gauge how ready Israel is to fuck some shit up.

    when suddenly there's not a lot of people at his work, it means they've been called out of the reserves.

    apparently less and less people have been showing up to the factory since thanksgiving.

    true, but they're being a bit indiscriminate wouldn't you say?
    Most of those killed were policemen in the Hamas militant movement, which controls Gaza, but women and children also died, the Gaza officials said.

    he described the ceasefire to me as being pretty tense, what with the constant rockets

    he stayed with a friend in (i think) Ashkelon and heard three air raid sirens before breakfast.

    believe back when he visited around thanksgiving he said something akin to "they're getting ready, it's only a matter of time till they send troops into Gaza".

    There is no way to completely avoid civilian casualties when you're bombing targets in cities and whatnot. Even if they bombed military bases exclusively, there would probably still be a few since military bases have civilian workers on them. I'm not terribly concerned about it.

    t Pip: I imagine Hamas is pretty popular with muslims. Other than them, though, yeah, they're not popular at all.
