Israel Guns For Gaza Terrorists, Hamas Dubs It 'War Against Islam' | Point Blank

Israel has often said that it will not stop at anything short of complete obliteration of Hamas. Israeli troops are now conducting a ground offensive accompanied by aerial bombardments in Northern Gaza, with the aim of eliminating Hamas terrorists.

What will be the impact of a long war on the Middle East and beyond? Hindustan Times’ Executive Editor Shishir Gupta decodes these issues in the latest edition of Point Blank.
