Caption: Israel Rejects Ceasefire Vowing War Against Hamas Will Continue. On October 30, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls for a ceasefire, stating that the war will continue against Hamas "until victory”. "Calls for a cease-fire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen.” Fox News reports that Israeli forces greatly expanded ground operations in the Gaza Strip, entering the second stage of their planned war against Hamas. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war. A war for our common future.” "Today we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism. It is a time for everyone to decide where they stand. Israel will stand against the forces of barbarism until victory.", Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, via Fox News. Fox News reports that as many as 9,400 people have been killed on both sides, as of October 30, including at least 1,400 Israelis and 33 Americans. According to the Hamas-controlled Gaza health ministry, over 8,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, in addition to another 110 people in the West Bank. Fox News reports that at least ten U.S. citizens are among the 239 people still held hostage by Hamas. According to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson, more military forces are entering the Gaza Strip and are "directly engaging with terrorists”. The IDF spokesperson reportedly added that Israeli forces along the border with Lebanon remain on "high alert”. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
