Netanyahu says Gaza op will continue as long as needed

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Operation Protective Edge will continue until its objectives are obtained, namely the return of silence and security to residents of southern Israel, and dealing a significant blow to terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.

He says that the IDF will prepare to continue operations as necessary even after the tunnels are destroyed. He adds that Hamas is interested in the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza and that the world will blame Israel for it. He reiterates that Israel is not directing its fire at civilians, and that it’s sorry for all unintentional harm caused to them.
