Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night vowed to bring the full force of the Israeli military against the Gaza Strip’s Hamas terror group.
“The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will immediately use all its strength to destroy Hamas’s capabilities. We will destroy them and we will forcefully avenge this dark day that they have forced on the State of Israel and its citizens. As Bialik wrote: ‘Revenge for the blood of a little child has yet been devised by Satan’,” Netanyahu said.
“All of the places which Hamas is deployed, hiding and operating in, that wicked city, we will turn them into rubble. I say to the residents of Gaza: Leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere,” he added.
“Hamas wants to murder us all. This is an enemy that murders children and mothers in their homes, in their beds, an enemy that abducts the elderly, children and young women, that slaughters and massacres our citizens, including children, who simply went out to enjoy the holiday,” the PM further said, adding that “what happened today is unprecedented in Israel – and I will see to it that it does not happen again. The entire government is behind this decision.”
Netanyahu said that Hamas has started a brutal and evil war. ” This morning, on Shabbat and a holiday, Hamas invaded Israeli territory and murdered innocent citizens including children and the elderly. Hamas has started a brutal and evil war,” he said.
He also thanked US President Joe Biden and other world leaders. “I spoke with US President Biden and with other world leaders in order to ensure freedom of action for Israel in the continuation of the campaign. I thank President Biden for his strong and clear words. I thank the President of France, the Prime Minister of Great Britain and many other leaders for their unreserved support for Israel,” the PM said.
As per reports, more than 300 people have been killed and 900 got injured in the Hamas terror attack.
As per reports, the death toll from the Hamas terror attack continued to rise and as of early Sunday morning stood at 300 people, many of them civilians slain in their homes and in the streets, as well as at a large outdoor party targeted by the terrorists.
