Isreali Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Monday that Israel will take control of Gaza after the war.
Resisting calls for a ceasefire, Netanyahu said there would be no letup in the war to destroy Hamas, whose attack left 1,400 dead in Israel, most of them civilians. The Palestinian militant group also took more than 240 people hostage, including children and elderly people, in an attack that prompted Israel's massive bombardment of Gaza and an intensifying ground offensive.
Since the war began, the Hamas-run health ministry said the death toll in Gaza had surpassed 10,000 people more than 4,000 of them children. But Netanyahu said the war would continue until Israel had restored "overall security" control of Gaza.
