With an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza looming large, Israel has said it will step up its aerial strikes in the besieged Palestinian territory to create the `best conditions` for troops to move in.
Indicating Israel`s preparations for the second stage of its declared three-phase operation to change the security regime in Gaza, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, `We have to enter the next phase of the war in the best conditions, not according to what anyone tells us.` `From today, we are increasing the strikes and minimizing the danger,` Hagari told reporters on Saturday, in a clear signal towards an imminent ground incursion.
