Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says war will end when Hamas leaders are killed in Gaza. "Our goal is a complete victory over Hamas.
We will kill the Hamas leaders, so we must continue to act in all areas of the Gaza Strip. The war must not end before then. It will take time, months, ( but) not years," the president said at a meeting of his party, the Likud coalition. The Israeli Army confirmed that fighting has intensified in the north and center of the Strip.
