The fighting continues between Hamas and Israel following a surprise attack on Israel by Palestinian militants known as Hamas.
The surprise attack on Israel by Hamas happened in the morning of Saturday 7 October, 2023, resulting to the killing of hundreds of Israelis with several others taken hostage.
Israel launched ‘Operation Swords Of Iron’ and retaliated with airstrikes on Gaza as well as a complete siege on the city.
The retaliatory airstrikes by Israel forces resulted to the killing of several Palestinians.
PM Netanyahu said: “This is a moment of determined struggle for those who rose above us for our brides. Our goal is victory! An overwhelming victory over Hamas, overthrowing its rule and removing its threat to the State of Israel – once and for all.
“There are many questions about the disaster that happened to us ten days ago. We will investigate everything to the end, and we have already started to apply immediate lessons. But now we are focused on one goal: to unite forces, and charge forward to victory.
“For this purpose, determination is needed, because victory will take time. There will be difficult moments. There will be bumps. Sacrifice is required. But we will win, because it is our very existence in this space that has many dark forces.
“Hamas is part of the evil axis of Iran, Hezbollah and their followers. Their desire is to destroy the State of Israel and murder us all.
“They want to return the Middle East to the abyss of barbaric fanaticism of the Middle Ages, while we want to catapult the Middle East to the heights of progress of the 21st century.
“This is a struggle between the people of light and the people of darkness. between humanity and animality. We saw this in the horrifying atrocities that the despicable murderers committed in Kibbutz Bari, in Kfar Gaza, in the surrounding settlements, and in the killing spree of the young men and women at the party in ‘Reim’.
“Now many in the world understand who Israel is up against. They understand that Hamas is ISIS. They understand that Hamas is a new version of Nazism. And just as the world united to defeat the Nazis and ISIS, so the world must unite to defeat Hamas.
“I say to our friends in the enlightened world: our war is also your war. If we don’t stand together on one front, it will come to you too.
“And I also have a message for Iran and Hezbollah: don’t test us in the north. Do not repeat the mistake you have already made, because today the price you will pay will be much heavier.
“President Biden told you in English: “Don’t do it”. And I tell you the same in Hebrew: “Be careful”.
“We went to war, we will win the war, and we will not stop until victory.”
