Israel to 'resist international pressure' over Gaza 11 July 2014Last updated at 16:52 Israel will resist foreign pressure to halt its operations in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. He said Israel had attacked more than 1,000 targets in Gaza since Tuesday, and was using twice the force it used during a similar operation in 2012. More than 100 people have died in the Israeli air strikes on Gaza, Palestinian sources say. Meanwhile militants in Gaza continue to fire rockets into Israel, causing damage and injuries. Mr Netanyahu said he had held "very good, positive" telephone consultations with US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But he added that "no international pressure will prevent us from acting with all power". The Palestinian health ministry says in addition to those killed, 675 people - mainly civilians - have been injured in Israel's Operation Protective Edge since it began on Tuesday. Israel says "dozens of terrorists" are among the dead. But UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says there is "serious doubt" as to whether Israeli's military operation complies with international laws banning the targeting of civilians. "We have received deeply disturbing reports that many of the civilian casualties, including of children, occurred as a result of strikes on homes," Ms Pillay said in a statement. Israel has repeatedly insisted that it tries to avoid civilian casualties, but says the militants often place their military assets in residential areas
