| Israel to keep up Gaza assault 'as long as necessary': PM Posted: 02 Aug 2014 12:50 PM PDT Israel will keep up its military campaign in the Gaza Strip for as long as needed and with as much force as necessary, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday. "From the beginning, we promised to return the quiet to Israel's citizens and we will continue to act until that aim is achieved. He also pledged to do whatever necessary to bring home 23-year-old soldier Hadar Goldin, who Israel believes was captured by Palestinian militants during an ambush in southern Gaza early on Friday. "Israel will continue to make every effort to bring its missing sons home," he pledged in remarks made just after the missing soldier's mother made an emotional appeal demanding there be no troop withdrawal until her son is found.
