The Independent (UK): It's war to the end, Israel tells Hamas.

Israel today warned the people of Gaza that its attacks which have so far killed more than 300 were a "war to the bitter end".

The statement from defence minister Ehud Barak came as jets obliterated symbols of Hamas power on the third day of its overwhelming assault.

They hit a house next to the Hamas premier's home, devastated a security compound and flattened a five-storey building at a university closely linked to the Islamic group.

Meanwhile there were reports that the Israeli navy had begun bombarding the area from the sea.

4. Exactly, To what end?

I will remain silent on this because my opinion would not be approved of here.

5. The Israelis take their elections very seriously.

And, going to war to prove a candidate's "toughness" is a good seller there, as it is here.
