Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTuesday was marked by heavy Israeli air strikes on Gaza, after Hamas killed 10 soldiers on Monday in three separate fatal incidents — including a tunnel incursion near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. Throughout Tuesday there was talk of possible ceasefires. And there were also indications that Israel might expand its ground offensive. The security cabinet is to meet today to make a decision. Maybe.

ToI’s Elhanan Miller wrote about this appalling terror chief last week.
