The issue for Israel is that knowing Gaza would heat up, can she keep Syria and Hezbollah in check. They do not know the answer yet.

Thanks for the FYI. Israel now must worry about the north too.

As the latest events begin to cook off, including the open declaration by Hamas for "Open war with Israel", remember to remain vigilant regardless what part of the globe you may live on.

In today's climate there is no reason to believe these events cannot spill over into other parts of the world that are not directly involved. Beware the possibilities of events event here in the US over the coming days.

Obama also has a press conference at 1:30 EST
It's not currently know the subject matter of this news conference.

Absolutely they must - as well as to the East
Syria and Turkey are currently kicking up dust as I understand it as well.

Israel too is using the blame Iran game right now too in the Gaza operations. Expect more, but before Israel can clean the Iranian clock, she must clean her immediate neighborhood first.

Depending on things, Israel may move into Gaza in rapid sudden fashion. Instead of the last time where media made it a case of bad Israel, Israel needs to act before the world can cry out.

IDF says ready to initiate ground operation, if need be

Agreed - Israel needs room to stretch her legs first.

Heard from Steve?/ his family?

Also read that the Israeli Cabinet has approved the second phase of this event. Apparently each member were telephoned directly for their approval.

I'll try to find that again for a link - I know I saw it here somewhere

He forewarned of this earlier this week. I am sure his family is busy right now.

Iran has been arming Hamas and its counterparts for some time. She may be very upset to find their southern flank is gone IF Israel follows through with ther threats!
