Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday night that the Israeli military had begun a second phase of its war against Hamas, sending ground forces into Gaza and increasing air, sea, and ground attacks. He also issued a warning that the assault would get stronger before a wider ground invasion into the region.
There are times when a country must choose between doing or dying. We are about to take the test, and I know exactly how it will turn out—we will win. According to The Associated Press, Netanyahu declared, “We will do and we will be the victors.” Speaking at a press conference today, Netanyahu reaffirmed that Israel committed to freeing all of the captives and insisted that the growing ground operation will support the nation in this endeavor.
I am unable to disclose all that done because of the sensitive nature and confidentiality of the work done. He stated, “This is the second phase of the battle, with very clear goals: to return the hostages home and destroy Hamas’s military and political capabilities. “To eliminate the ruthless adversary and secure our continued survival in our land is the ultimate objective of our valiant warriors. We’ve always said, ‘Never again,’ and now is the time to do so,” he continued. PM Netanyahu, who referred to the terror assault on October 7 as a “debacle,” stated that there would need to be a comprehensive inquiry and that all parties involved, including the Prime Minister, would have to provide answers, according to the AP.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 377 Palestinian deaths have been confirmed since late Friday, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza to slightly over 7,700 since the start of the conflict.
