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-thousand-868 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed and nearly 10-thousand injured since the conflict began four weeks ago.

Sixty-seven Israelis have died, all but three of them soldiers. A Thai national working in Israel was also killed.
