Nearly 1,600 people have been killed in Hamas' strike on Israel and the counterstrike.
After 5,000 rockets were launched by Hamas militant group, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Hamas.
"Israel is at war. We didn't want this war. It was forced upon us in the most brutal and savage way. But though Israel didn't start this war, Israel will finish it," he said.
