debka.com is reporting that the israeli “ground invasion” has not made serious advances or realized any significant objectives so far. apparently hamas’ military capacities have not been degraded. as a result, debka says that only an massive urban conflict would diminish hamas militarily. hamas needs to resist the ceasefire options being presented currently by Egypt and the US, and fight for a better hand at the table.
@anonymous: I am not too fond of Debka, to put it mildly, but I have to say that the piece you are referring to (full link here: http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=5824) actually seems very plausible to me. Funny to think that the best info so far would come out of Debka, of all places!
But yes, while I would rate the source as a highly untrustworthy one, I would rate this specific report as a very plausible one.
Amazing times :-)
PS: oh, and just to make one thing clear – in my comment above I am referring to Debka’s assessment of what this operation has achieved or failed to achieve so far, not to their (silly) claim that most victims are Hamas fighters rather than civilian.

yes, i meant to add that too: debka is generally untrustworthy but this report seems fairly honest in terms of describing the military “advance” and dilemma.
