PRIME Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is ready to "significantly expand" its operation in the Gaza Strip.
"We are extracting a heavy price from Hamas and the terror organisations," Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. "The army is prepared to significantly expand the operation."
Netanyahu said he was holding ongoing talks with world leaders, "and we appreciate their understanding of Israel's right to self defence".
"The operation in the Gaza Strip is continuing, and we are preparing to expand it," he said.
His remarks came as thousands of Israeli troops backed by armour massed along the border.
Netanyahu praised the "swift and impressive" response of reservists, 16,000 of whom had been called up for duty.
"The soldiers are ready for any activity that could take place," he said at the cabinet meeting.
The Israeli army sealed off the main roads around Gaza late on Friday and shortly afterwards, the cabinet authorised the call up of up to 75,000 reservists, prompting a flurry of diplomatic efforts to broker a truce to head off any escalation.
