Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat has spoken to Sky News to vehemently defend Israel's airstrikes, insisting they targeted militants.

He labelled Hamas as "monsters" who were responsible for starting the conflict saying: "We didn't start this war, but we will end it".

More than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the Hamas assault on Israel, with about 200 hostages being held captive in Gaza.

At least 3,000 people in Gaza have been killed in retaliatory strikes since the start of the war, according to the territory's health ministry.
