Israel said early Tuesday that its military has launched what could be a long-term offensive against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, striking at least 50 sites in Gaza by air and sea and mobilizing for a possible ground invasion, the Associated Press reported.Read the entire article but quite honestly I've been waiting for this for awhile now.
The army said its offensive, dubbed “Operation Protective Edge,” is aimed at striking Hamas and ending the rocket fire that has intensified in recent weeks.
The idea that Israel hasn't been the target of Muslim extremist ever since the so called "Arab Spring" erupted is to me startling.
Now that this is about to kick off, all bets are off.
Will the Israeli's see strikes from Lebanon? What about the issues with Syria? Is now the time that Iran does a pre-emptive strike to further confuse an already confused and retreating US foreign policy?
An already dangerous world just became a little more so.
