"The first phase was the massive aerial bombardment, and the second saw ground forces enter Gaza, seize open areas used to fire rockets and surround Gaza City. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because military plans have not been made public, said the army also has a contingency plan for a fourth phase - the full reoccupation of Gaza and toppling of Hamas" (Jersalem Post).

Watch, Israel will reoccupy, and hopefully will expel its citizens to Arab lands. Gaza will make a nice buffer zone.
