Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rejected a proposal for a Gaza war truce by Hamas, saying victory was within reach and only total defeat of the movement that rules the blockaded strip would ensure Israel's security.
"We are on the path to total victory. Victory is within reach," he said at a televised press briefing, adding that triumph was months away. "Only total victory will allow us to restore security in Israel, both in the north and in the south."

Fighting has also picked up north of Israel:
An Israeli Air Force fighter jet attacked a Hezbollah military structure in the region of Marwahin, IDF Spokesperson's Unit reported on Wednesday.
In addition, on Tuesday night, IDF warplanes targeted a Hezbollah military infrastructure in the area of the village of Bani Hiyan.
The military further noted that in response to the launches from Lebanon towards the Mount Dov and Shetula areas, earlier on Wednesday, IDF artillery fired at the sources of the launch.
