i'm michael holmes with the latest on the israel-hamas war. the israeli military says its bombardment of hamas targets will become even more relentless forward of any other incurrence. israeli troops appointedsed to strike at hamas on a moment's snow. on saturday the idea of chief of staff repeated what they heard all week, we will enter gaza. a spokesman told cnn, it is not a question of if, it's when. >> and the time line, you know, that changes according to many variables in the air and across the sea. the important thing is that the idf will conduct significant military operations in order to defeat hamas, in order to bring our hostages home and in order to fundamentally change the security situation that we have in southern israel and frankly all of israel. i am the confident that decisions are made by those who make decisions in israel in order to achieve both these aims i've said before, to defeat hamas and all other terrorists in gaza and to bring home our people. it is a very difficult equation to square and we are not going to spare

israel. bring us up-to-date on the latest. >> michael, i think ever since hamas launched this devastating and brutal terrorist attack on israel killing more than 1,300 people a week and a day ago, it's been a question of when rather than if israel will launch a ground invasion. it does now seem this ground invasion is imminent. israel reprayering for in its words significant military operation. it does now seem imminent. it's always fraught with danger when israel went in the past, and it did carry out a copal of reconnaissance raids into the weekend. this time, of course, very much complicated by the presence of more than 100 hostages that hamas took when it launched that attack just over a week ago. but israel it seems undoubtedly will go in and it will go in hard. hamas is not only expecting them but perhaps even welcoming them because it will give hamas more opportunity to kill israeli soldiers and also potentially abduct them. let's not forget hamas has a kind of warren of tunnels underneath the surface of the gaza strip, which it will use, no doubt, for both offensive and defensive capa
