The conflict of Gaza begins. Hamas laps, ambushes and American drones

Although the Gaza Strip itself is geographically isolated by Israel and Egypt, the land invasion of Israeli forces was intended to cut the enclave and take the ticks of the lap of Gaza and Jabalia. Prime Minister Netanjahu called it "a large minute of battle". Hamas posted a video footage showing 1 of the Islamists planting an explosive device on Israeli Merkawa and then shelling it with a grenade launcher. U.S. drones orbit the Gaza Strip.
