Israel to Intensify Gaza Offensive -- Voice of America
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the military will intensify its offensive in Gaza after Hamas militants rejected a cease-fire proposal and continued firing rockets into Israel.
Netanyahu said Tuesday he would have preferred to solve the conflict "diplomatically," but actions by Hamas leave "no choice but to expand and intensify the campaign against it."
The Israeli military held fire for six hours after agreeing to an Egyptian cease-fire proposal Tuesday. But Israel says it resumed airstrikes after Gaza militants fired about 50 rockets over Israel from Hamas-controlled territory.
