Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said every Hamas member was "a dead man" after the first meeting of his country's emergency government.
Alongside him, opposition figure Benny Gantz said it was "a time for war".
But US President Joe Biden said he had spoken to Mr Netanyahu and made it clear that Israel must "operate by the rules of war".
The death toll in Israel has reached 1,200. More than 1,100 people have been killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza.
Mr Biden said he understood the anger and frustration of the Israeli people but urged Israel to adhere to the principles of the Geneva conventions. He also warned Iran - which has welcomed the Hamas attack - to "be careful".
Earlier on Wednesday Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gantz agreed to put aside a bitter political rivalry that had escalated into widespread protests.
Mr Gantz told Israeli citizens that the newly-formed government was "united" and ready to "wipe this thing called Hamas off the face of the Earth".
Alongside Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gantz, the centrist National Unity Party leader and a former defence minister, the new temporary cabinet would also include Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
The country's main opposition leader, Yair Lapid, has not joined the alliance. However, Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gantz said in a joint statement that a seat would be reserved for him in the war cabinet.
"During the war period, no bills or government decisions will be promoted that do not concern the conduct of the war," said a statement.
"All senior appointments will be automatically extended during the war period."
The emergency government will give broader national consensus to military action. It also brings to the war cabinet two voices who are experts in military strategy. Both Mr Gantz and also Gadi Eisenkot, who joins as an observer, are former Israeli military chiefs of staff.
The announcement of the new cabinet came in the wake of savage attacks by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip.

listen up to the wise aquascoot.
israel has between 50 and 100 nukes
and this could go nuclear.
i assume you have fire insurance on your house.
the risk if a fire at your house is about 1 in 100,000
the risk of a major disruption to your life due to events in israel or ukraine would have to be orders of magnitude higher
you need to take some sensible precautions
if supply chains fail in melbourne, the place will turn into a dog eat dog disaster in a day.
put aside 500 bucks
buy rice, tinned fish, condensed milk, honey, oats, tinned fruit
make sure you have 6 months of any meds you are on
get a generator and 100 litres of fuel
make sure you have a water tank
batteries, lighters
crank radio
first aid kit
pet food
vodka (you can drink it, burn it, sterilise with it)
candles
a camp stove
fill your bath wirh water
padlocks on the doors
eventually, if the power and the net went out, the army would probably take control, (marshall law) but it could take a week or two.
you will need to take "personal responsiblity" til then
i have seen you new premier, she looks timid
if you think she can look after you if the power, petrol, water and food stop flowing you are out of your mind
