Israel 'To Pursue Campaign' As Truce Ends -- BBC
Israel's prime minister has vowed the campaign in Gaza will continue "until quiet and security are returned to the citizens of Israel".
Benjamin Netanyahu issued the statement after Israel's seven-hour "humanitarian window" for parts of Gaza closed.
The truce slowed violence in Gaza, although Palestinians said Israel broke it by hitting a house in Gaza City.
Two attacks on Israelis were reported in Jerusalem and Israel said militant rocket fire from Gaza had continued.
Health officials in Gaza say 1,868 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed and some 9,470 injured since the conflict began nearly four weeks ago.
Sixty-seven Israelis have died, all but three of them soldiers. A Thai national working in Israel was also killed.
