Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has made a big announcement that his troops are ready for a Gaza incursion. Addressing the nation on Wednesday, Netanyahu confirmed that the Israeli ground invasion into the Gaza Strip will serve two primary goals: the destruction of Hamas and the safe rescue of all hostages. His statement came within hours of a Wall Street Journal report which said that Israel was delaying the invasion to allow the U.S. some time to move more air defence systems and missiles to the Middle East region to protect its troops.
