Latest News from Israel:

	Operation against Hamas terror is expanded Israel began Operation "Cast Lead" on December 27, 2008 with air operations against Hamas command centers and terror infrastructure in Gaza, with the purpose of deterring further attacks against Israeli citizens. Yet, one week later - after Hamas continued firing against Israeli citizens, launching about 450 rockets and mortars (including more than 60 of the more lethal Grad Kaytusha rockets) - Israel had to take further action. Consequently, on January 3, 2009, Israel expanded its operations in Gaza to include ground forces. Their primary mission is to take control of key rocket launching sites in the Gaza Strip and to combat the terrorist forces operating there.
