Netanyahu says government is 'committed' to goals of war after fighting against Hamas resumes

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the government is "committed to achieving the goals of the war" against Hamas after fighting resumed following the end of the temporary cease-fire Friday morning.

Shortly before the cease-fire ended, Israel said it intercepted a rocket from Gaza and therefore it would not continue the pause in the war. Netanyahu said Hamas "violated the outline" and did not meet its obligation to release all women being held hostage.

"Upon the resumption of fighting, we emphasize: The Government of Israel is committed to achieving the goals of the war: Releasing the hostages, eliminating Hamas and ensuring that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to the residents of Israel," Netanyahu's office said.
