The Israeli army spent 18 months training for its ground attack against Gaza on a model of the main city built at a desert army base, a military spokesman said.
"Our soldiers know all the back streets where their targets are," military spokesman Avi Benayahou told Israeli public television.
"For a year and a half our soldiers trained on a reduced model of Gaza City built on the Tsehilim base" in the Negev desert of southern Israel, near the frontier with Gaza, he added.
Gaza City was virtually surrounded on Sunday, one day after tens of thousands of Israeli forces entered the territory on a mission to halt militant rocket attacks.

You mean if Condi Rice would have brokered a peace treaty with Gaza, the Israelis would still have attacked? No way.
