| Israel PM Netanyahu: Gaza operation to go on | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said the operation in Gaza will continue according to Israel's security needs even after Hamas tunnels are destroyed. | |
| Mr Netanyahu said the militant group would pay an "intolerable price" for attacks on Israel. | |
| His words came as hopes faded for talks on a truce going ahead in Egypt. | |
| Some 1,655 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 65 Israelis, all but two soldiers, have died since the conflict began more than three weeks ago. | |
| A Thai worker was also killed in Israel. Some 8,900 Palestinians have also been injured, the health ministry in Gaza says. | |
| Exchanges of fire are continuing in Gaza, as Israel continues to hunt for a soldier, Hadar Goldin, who went missing on Friday. | |
| Israel began an aerial campaign on 8 July with the intention of halting rocket attacks from Gaza. | |
| It later launched ground operations to target rocket launching sites and tunnels used by militants to infiltrate Israel. | |
| There have been numerous attempts to arrange ceasefires, but none have lasted. | |
| Both sides have repeatedly accused the other of breaking truce agreements. |
