ISRAELI tanks rolled over the border into Gaza overnight to wipe out Hamas terrorist cells ahead of its planned ground invasion.
The Israeli Defence Force said tanks and infantry took out “numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts”.

“In preparation for the next stages of combat, the IDF operated in northern Gaza,” it said.
“IDF tanks & infantry struck numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts.
“The soldiers have since exited the area and returned to Israeli territory.”
It’s thought Israel’s invasion of Gaza could begin as early as this week.
The US reportedly made a request for more time to get its defences in place as PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned “Hamas is doomed”.
Netanyahu claimed troops have already “eliminated thousands of terrorists”.
And he vowed to do everything in his power to return hostages back to their families before launching their ground offensive.
