AP reports that Israel has been inside the Gaza Strip, seems to meet resolution criteria? Is AP a reliable international report like the description asks for?

Israel military says it has carried out small raids into Gaza strip

The Israeli military says for the first time that ground troops have been operating inside the Gaza Strip.

In a statement Friday, the army said troops had entered Gaza to battle militants, destroy weapons and search for evidence about the missing hostages held by Hamas.

The announcement did not appear to be the beginning of an expected ground invasion of Gaza. Israel has been massing troops along the Gaza border since last Saturday’s deadly incursion by Hamas militants.

I feel you guys probably want to bet here

@colorednoise quite different. Air strikes could kill 500 without ground troops.

@JoshuaBlake I think @colorednoise was just sharing a related market, not implying they are particularly similar. At the time it was posted there were not many markets on this topic yet.
