Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to destroy Hamas and win the continuing conflict.
Netanyahu said that Israeli soldiers were using overwhelming force to subdue Hamas, adding that the group had just started paying the price.
Following a security evaluation at Kirya in Tel Aviv, the Prime Minister revealed this in a statement.
He said:
“Citizens of Israel, Shabbat Shalom. Shabbat shalom to our forces deployed across the country, who are celebrating the Sabbath in the field, far from home.
“And we are fighting tooth and nail: soldiers, police officers, citizens, security forces, health personnel and rescue teams — and Israel’s citizens, with your extraordinary volunteering spirit that has touched the world.
“We are all mobilized, we are all united. We will never forget the horrific acts perpetrated against us by our enemies.
“We will never forget the horrific acts perpetrated by our enemies and we will never forgive. We will not allow the world, or anyone, to forget these horrors, the likes of which the Jewish people have not endured in decades.
“We are pounding our enemies with unprecedented force, and I stress, this is only the beginning. Our enemies have only just begun to pay the price. I will not detail our plans, but I tell you, this is only the beginning.
“We will obliterate Hamas, we will triumph. It might take time, but we will end this war stronger than ever. “May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them.”
