Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Gaza Strip on Monday and vowed to step up the army's assault in the Palestinian territory, his party said.

"I just came back from Gaza ... we're not stopping, we're continuing to fight, and we're intensifying the fighting in the coming days. It's going to be a long war that's not close to ending," he said, according to a Likud party statement.
