Daily Cuts - What would Israel's ground offensive look like

Daily Cuts

Israel has formed a ‘war cabinet’ between PM Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz  as rockets continue to be fired from both sides. This unity government will not promote any unrelated policy or laws except those related to the ongoing fighting with Hamas in Gaza. Over 2,000 people on both sides have lost their lives and Gaza’s only power station has stopped working after running out of fuel. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has also vowed to launch a ground offensive in response to the attacks by Hamas. Dr James Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow, S.
