ISRAEL is gearing up for a full-scale ground invasion of bomb-blitzed Gaza after Hamas terrorists unleashed a bloodbath dubbed "Israel\u2019s 9\/11".<\/p>\n

As 600 warplanes relentlessly pummel the Gaza Strip, 300,000 Israeli reserve troops, tanks and jets are gathering to unleash revenge within the "next 48 hours".<\/p>\n

More than 1,200 people in Israel and Gaza have been killed since the Palestinian terrorist group stormed the border on Saturday and massacred hundreds at a music festival.<\/p>\n

Now, Israel is planning to launch a coordinated offensive within the "next 48 hours", US officials reported.<\/p>\n

However, the armed wing of Hamas has announced it will begin executing one Israeli captives for every new civilian house bombed without warning.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson for the Qassam Brigades blamed their move to murdering hostages on Israel's stepping-up of air strikes on Gaza City.<\/p>\n
