As the bruising campaign against Gaza's Hamas rulers entered its 10th day, the Islamic militant group continued to pummel southern Israel with more than two dozen rockets on Monday and promised to wait for Israeli soldiers "in every street and every alleyway."
In Washington, the State Department said the U.S. was pressing for a cease-fire that would include three main elements, including a halt to rocket attacks.
President George W. Bush, however, emphasized "Israel's desire to protect itself."
"The situation now taking place in Gaza was caused by Hamas," he said in the Oval Office.
