Israel's military has drafted a record 300,000 reservists in its response to a multi-front Hamas attack from Gaza and says it is "going on the offensive".
Benjy Treister is a New Zealander whose young family lives in the city of Be'er Sheva, about 20 kilometres from Gaza.
His two brothers have both been called up for combat and he fears he will soon be needed too, even though one of his three children is a new-born.
Treister spoke to Corin Dann.
