Israel-Gaza war: The fighting escalates

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said "there is no possibility right now of bringing everyone home", in a meeting with newly released hostages.

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has countered those he says are trying to pressure Israel’s military tactics, saying the only way to finish the job was to use crushing force against Hamas.

Meanwhile, families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza have met Mr Netanyahu and members of his war cabinet to press for more action to be taken to ensure their release. Eighty Israeli hostages were released during the temporary truce last week - it is believed that around 160 are still being held.
