Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has said Palestinian militant group Hamas had sustained a "hard blow", but the offensive in Gaza would continue.

"We still haven't reached our objectives," Mr Barak told Israeli MPs.

Israel carried out 30 air strikes overnight, with heavy clashes reported east of Gaza City. Palestinian sources say a family of seven were killed.

A top Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Mahmud Zahar, said the Islamists were heading to "victory" against Israel.
