WILL THE GROUND OPERATION START TONIGHT?
Israeli Defense Minister Gallant also visited troops on the Gaza border.
Addressing Israeli soldiers there, Gallant stated, "You see Gaza from afar now. You will see it from the inside soon."
Touching upon the tension with Hezbollah on the Lebanon border, Gallant said, "If Hezbollah wants to start a war, it should first look at the photos of Gaza City."
Israel's bombing of the church in Gaza has brought the possibility that the operation will begin very soon to the agenda.
