Palestine: Invasion of Gaza begins
03-01-2009
The Muslim News OnLine:
Israeli ground troops and armoured vehicles are invading Gaza strip and have intensified missile attacks.
Israel wants to destroy Hamas and destroy Gaza infrastructure to allow President Mahmoud Abbas’s Palestinian Authority to take over. Israel has the support of the West on this issue as the West considers the Hamas, who won the last Palestinian elections, as a terrorist organisation.
The invasion was preceded by artillery attacks.
“The objective is to destroy the Hamas terror infrastructure in the area of operations," said Israel Defense Forces Major Avital Leibovitch who also confirmed that the invasion had already begun. "We are going to take some of the launch areas used by Hamas," the spokeswoman said.
