"We don't see the end of the escalation. We are closing in on operation in Gaza," a senior Israeli Defense Force official said Thursday. In a twitter message the military said: "The way things continue to play out is significant. Hamas will understand in the coming hours, as in the past months, that this is not the direction it wants to chose."
The Gaza offensive happened after three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and killed in the West Bank and a Palestinian teenager was abducted and burned to death in an apparent tit-for-tat attack.
According to Shehab News, the Israeli offensive is ongoing in the Gaza strip today.
