Israel in 'all-out war against Hamas'
(12-29 18:32)
Defence Minister Ehud Barak said Israel is in an ''all-out war against Hamas.''
He added: ''We have nothing against Gaza residents, but we are engaged in an all-out war against Hamas and its proxies.
''This operation will expand and deepen as much as needed. We went to war to deal a heavy blow to Hamas.
Barak recalled a conversation with Barack Obama during the US President-elect's June visit to Sderot city, which is regularly targeted by Gaza militants.
He quoted Obama as saying, ''had anyone fired rockets against my home while my two daughters were sleeping I would have done everything to stop him.
''That is what Obama said and that is what we are doing.''
