Exploded the bomb without it doing any damage to their forces. later on this morning, we heard from a military wing of hamas saying that despite the israeli ground incursion, they had once again burrowed under the border and attacking tanks on the other side. we havent heard what the israeli military had to say there, because they say the incident is under military censorship rules. on the northern part of the country clashes on the ground and morning is punctuated by the sounds of bombs and art...

Rolling into gaza in what is now this ground incursion. theyre calling it an incursion, not an invasion. they want to be specific about this. they say it is targeted, as you rightly point out, specifically to these tunnels as far as i can tell, from information i am getting on the ground. israelis believe there are ten of those, used by, they say, from terrorists from gaza from hamas to get into israel and to go back and forth. so these, as i say, are the latest pictures out of idf. i want to mo...
