There were air missions today. So, maybe?

The last time, a couple of years ago, Israel delayed repetitively. Which ultimately people said was to drive Hamas into the tunnels underground for them to manage.

This is a much bigger military action and I won't pretend to know their strategy. I am sure there's a strategy taking place, though.
