The Israeli prime minister has defended Wednesday's offensive in the Gaza Strip as necessary to bring home a captured Israeli soldier, but Palestinians say the raid is a "crime against humanity".
Speaking after the start of the Gaza offensive, Ehud Olmert said Israel would not shy away from "extreme action" to bring the soldier home.
"We won't hesitate to carry out extreme action to bring Gilad back to his family," he said, referring to Corporal Gilad Shalit.
"All the military activity that started overnight will continue in the coming days."
Shalit was captured by Palestinian fighters on Sunday in an attack on an Israeli guard post near Gaza which left two more Israeli soldiers dead.
In response, Israeli troops and tanks moved into southern Gaza after overnight airstrikes that destroyed three bridges and a power station, leaving much of the strip without electricity.
Olmert said his country had no intention of re-occupying the territory, which Israel withdrew from in August 2005
