"The severe weather in the region has forced Israeli officials to postpone the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to next week. This delay highlights the challenges faced by aircraft pilots and drone operators in conducting air operations in support of Israeli ground troops. While it may provide a temporary respite for the people of Gaza, the delay does not signify an end to the conflict. The international community continues to call for a peaceful resolution and an immediate ceasefire."

(33,198 posts)A delay while the refugees are complying with the evacuation notice. Im sure in the background the IDF is still taking care of business from a few stories Ive seen.

(51,627 posts)that don't have decent sources. These days you can't be sure and it is very annoying. "Foggy Media" and "Fox News" are not too reliable in normal times.

(26,319 posts)taking hostages in an effort to prevent reprisal I doubt there will be a peaceful resolution.
At least not unless all the hostages are freed and all those within Hamas that were involved in the attack are arrested and brought to trial in Hague.

(19,567 posts)There were air missions today. So, maybe?
The last time, a couple of years ago, Israel delayed repetitively. Which ultimately people said was to drive Hamas into the tunnels underground for them to manage.
This is a much bigger military action and I won't pretend to know their strategy. I am sure there's a strategy taking place, though.
