Fighting will continue without a break unless Israeli hostages are released, warned Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir during a visit to his troops in the Palestinian territory.
"I believe that in the coming days we will know whether we can reach an agreement on the release of our hostages. If not, the fighting will continue without a break," said Lieutenant General Zamir.
The Chief of General Staff conducted a "field visit and assessment of the situation" in the Gaza Strip on Friday.
Zamir was accompanied by several senior military officers, according to a statement provided to AFP today.
