Netanyahu says Gaza war exacting 'heavy price' as Israel soldier deaths mount

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will fight until the end, vowing to restore the security in both the north and the south, during his weekly cabinet meeting. Netanyahu said on Sunday that the war in Gaza was exacting a very heavy price as the toll of Israeli soldiers killed in fighting with Hamas mounted.

"This is a difficult morning, after a very difficult day of fighting in Gaza. The war is exacting a very heavy price but we have nochoice but to keep fighting,"he said, after the army announced that 15 soldiers had been killed in the Palestinian territory since Friday.
