To eliminate some sort of ground activity in that area. weve heard a lot of bombardment to the north of here along the northern boarder with israel and a lot of action in the center of gaza where according to some sources, it appears israeli tanks have entered gaza really in the middle, perhaps to reproduce what they did in 2009 when they cut gaza strip in three parts to try to prevent the movement of weapons and fighters among those areas, anderson? >> wolf, you talked to israeli officials who ...

Palestinian territory. this on the day that there was a glimmer of hope for the rocket fire to end overnight. the israelis had agreed to a cease-fire proposed by egypt but hamas rejected that truce and rockets kept coming from gaza. 47 to be exact according to the israeli defense force. so after six hours of holding fire, israel restarted its air strikes and the fighting continues. lets bring in wolf blitzer live from jerusalem. wolf, the israeli security cabinet has met once again. what are you...

Scored 200 kills. about 750 incoming rockets have hit ground and now the israelis, as we said, have suffered their first death. wolf blitzer with us now from jerusalem. wolf, does the failure of the cease-fire make it a lot more likely that there will be ground offensives which will likely result in many more deaths? >> i suspect the israelis will engage in some ground activity. there was a commando raid the other day, spent about 30 minutes on the ground, went after specific targets and then le...

Said, if that is one option, has this mission failed? >> im sorry, could i ni could the question well. >> im sorry, if gadhafi remains at the end of the military operation as admiral mullen said is one option and the u.s. has said that hes not being targeted, what is your view of that option if gath remadhafi r in power? >> ive said from the beginning that the plan is not simply there, the end game is not apparent. so as a result of first strikes have knocked out at least air facilities that wer...

So we have a choice to make. they can -- nato has to either intensify the military informant so to speak or attacks, or see this incrementally continue to increase over a period of time. i think that works against nato. i think it works against the united states. i think you have to intensify the ground activity. the advisers going in, you know, theyre -- theyre armed. they could be killed or captured, and then that raises the level of concern even more. so i think we have to either really inten...
