Israel to fight on in Gaza for 'as long as the hostages are not returned': Minister

Israel will fight on in Gaza for "as long as the hostages are not returned," Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday after Israel resumed air strikes on the battered territory.

"We will not stop fighting as long as the hostages are not returned home and all our war aims are not achieved," Katz said. Apart from the release of the remaining hostages, Israel's other main war aim is to crush Hamas.
