Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says air-strikes will continue into Gaza and the option of deploying ground troops is to be decided according to Israeli government spokesperson, Yigal Palmor, who appeared on this week's World in Motion.

In the meantime, hundreds of rockets continue to come from Gaza into Israel, many of which are destroyed by the Israeli Iron Dome missile defence system.

Airstrikes have killed over 150 people in Gaza, many of whom were civilians, with over 700 casualties - 70 per cent of which are women and children.
