Israel - Gaza War Day 8 1/2: It's all kicked off.

In London there have been some clashes with the police outside the Israeli Embassy and the Israeli Defence Force have deployed an indeterminate number of troops an indeterminate distance inside the Gaza border. As yet it is not clear if this is a large scale invasion or a small scale incursion designed to establish a bridgehead.

As the situation is currently quite chaotic both here and there I will wait until tomorrow to see how the situation develops but I will say there has been a strong rumour doing the rounds that Hamas were moving to offer an unconditional ceasefire on either Tuesday or Wednesday next week so it appears the Israelis have moved to grab as much land as they can while they still justify it as a defensive operation.
