TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Saturday of a long and difficult war ahead and said that the conflict had entered its “second stage” after ground troops entered Gaza in a dramatic expansion of fighting. His words echoed those of some troops on the ground who tell NBC News that they are prepared for a fight that could last “months.
Hartman, a former sniper for the IDF who returned to join the fight after retiring and moving to Florida, said he believed Hamas was caught “off guard” by Israeli forces’ incursion Friday night. 'We’re not trying to work from a playbook that they can read the same book,” he said. “I don’t think they were ready for us yesterday.' He said troops were prepared to be on the ground for as long as it takes. “I don’t know if it’s going to be months, but it could very well be months.” Staff Sgt.
