JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s top decision-making forum ordered the military on Tuesday to keep up attacks on Gaza “as required”, a statement said, indicating they would be calibrated in response to strikes by Palestinian militants.

The security cabinet issued its decision after a six-hour meeting to discuss the surge in cross-border fighting.
