Israel Vows To Keep Up Gaza Bombardments

The Israeli military has vowed to continue its operation in Gaza, but admitted it is “protracted”and “difficult”.

A Spokesman said over the weekend it was expanding its “ground operations in the Southern and Northern Gaza Strip”.

Meanwhile, the US said Joe Biden spoke to the Israeli PM and emphasised the “critical need” to protect civilians.

In response, Benjamin Netanyahu said the war would go on until all Israeli goals were achieved.

President Biden also told reporters that he had not asked Mr Netanyahu for a ceasefire.

On Friday, the UN Security Council approved a resolution demanding large-scale aid deliveries to Gaza but stopped short of calling for a ceasefire between the two warring sides.

Gaza Health Ministry says more than 20,000 people have been killed and 53,000 injured in Gaza since the war began. Most of the dead are women and children.
