Israel's ground invasion of Gaza would be intense, with highly-violent urban combat: Analyst
CNA's Steve Lai gets insight from University of Michigan Professor Javed Ali about Israel vowing to destroy Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that has ruled Gaza since 2007. He says a ground war in Gaza would likely resemble battles fought in Iraq and Syria over the past 20 years. And he argues that the recovery of more than 200 hostages is "fundamentally different" and "never seen before in modern combat", something that is affecting Israel's plans.
