The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will continue its operations in Gaza until it restores security and quiet to Israeli citizens. At a televised news conference, Mr.Netanyahu said the army would continue fighting to prevent attacks from Hamas,even after cross-border tunnels were destroyed. Israelis earlier told Palestinians they could return home to one area, but Mathin Patience in Gaza says people are reluctant to go back.

They're certainly not going back tonight. And I asked one man here in Gaza City, “Why aren’t you going back? Why you not heading back to your home?” And he said, “We simply can’t trust Israelis. We are worried about our security. We're worried that there will be another massacre.” What's happened in previous occasions is there has been a lot of fighting, temporary ceasefire. People have heavy doubts to areas that have been evacuated during this conflict, and then they’ll be caught up in the fighting again. So nobody for now wants to take any chances.

An American doctor infected with the Ebola virus has arrived in the United States from Liberia for treatment.

Doctor Jay Bucky, the infectious disease specialist at the hospital that will treat doctor Brantly, said he wanted to reassure people that the disease would not spread in the US.

“I would really dispute the notion that this is bringing Ebola to the country.This is a patient. He is a sick patient that needs our help. He is one of our neighbors, is somebody’s parent, is somebody’s son, somebody’s sibling. Heneeds our help and we are gonna trying to help him.”

Bolt ran the last leg of the race, which Jamaica won with ease and a new Games record of 37.58 seconds. From Hampden Park in Glasgow, here's Ben Smith.

On the night when the rain hampered down here at Hampden, Usain Bolt lived up to all the height, with the performance that brought sunshine to Glasgow. From the moment he began dancing to Scotland on official national anthem before the race to the sensational anchor leg he ran to take Jamaicato go. This was Bolt and he's incredible best, a true sporting showman, a superstar. It was the first Commonwealth medal of his stunning career, and he celebrated it like a man who was in his element. He was worth the way. Glasgow was in his thrill.
