Israel's Ground Offensive into the Gaza Strip may not be a full invasion but will likely occur in phases, according to a former U.S. ambassador to Israel. Israel has been preparing for a ground operation after amassing troops at the border. The operation will involve an integrated attack from the air, sea, and land against Palestinian militants Hamas in Gaza. Israel is concerned about ambushes and fighters emerging from tunnels in Gaza, which has been a major challenge for their air force. The conflict could potentially expand, according to warnings from Iran's president and foreign minister. The death toll so far is at least 1,400 people killed in Israel and nearly 2,700 people killed in Gaza.
