Israeli forces including tanks rolled into northern Gaza overnight in the biggest incursion of the war against Hamas so far to carry out 'targeted raids' on 'terrorist cells' ahead of a full-scale ground invasion. In an indication Israel was widening assaults into Gaza, the military said ground forces attacked multiple targets in the Hamas-ruled enclave on Thursday before withdrawing. The IDF said tanks and infantry struck numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts 'as part of preparations for the next stages of combat' against Hamas. Israel's battle-hardened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (inset) last night warned Hamas terrorists in a televised statement that they were 'doomed' as he vowed to push ahead with a ground invasion. Israeli tanks and troops are massed on the border with Gaza awaiting orders. Israel has called up 360,000 reservists.
