Israel has been under attack for days, but is responding blow by blow. “The atrocities committed by Hamas have not occurred since the atrocities committed by ISIS,” the Israeli prime minister said. Benjamin Netanyahu. “Bound children executed together with their families. Young men and women hit in the back and executed. I will not describe other horrors here. We always knew who Hamas was. Now the whole world knows. Hamas is ISIS. And we will defeat it, just as the enlightened world defeated ISIS.” Very harsh, clear words.
Israeli PM promises iron fist, clarifies current Gaza bombing ‘is’just the beginning”. Israel will do everything it can to free prisoners held in Gaza, Netanyahu promises, but warns that “difficult days” lie ahead for Israel, which could set the stage for a conflict that could take weeks or even longer to end.
After recalling that Israel launched an unprecedented attack on Hamas, the Israeli leader thanked Biden for his support. “Our enemies understand very well the importance of US naval movements.” The prime minister also thanked other leaders who had supported Israel. “The goals stated by Netanyahu for the army”Cleaning of villages along the border” by Hamas militants and the strengthening of the other fronts, on the border with Lebanon and in the West Bank.”Our heart – Netanyahu explained – he is with the hostages, Israelis and non-Israelis, Jews and non-Jews. “It will take patience,” he concluded, quoting a few verses from the Book of Samuel about the power of Israel that will not fail, “but at the end of this campaign it will be understood that Hamas made a terrible mistake when it Israel attacked.”
Total siege in Gaza
Israel is tightening a total siege on the Gaza Strip and is preparing to invade the Gaza Strip by land. Tensions high in the north with Hezbollah poised to launch a new attack on Israel from Lebanon. The war front could therefore expand dangerously. On the third day of the conflict, the conflict continues uninterrupted Rocket launch from Gaza towards the Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip, but also towards the center of the country. In a conversation with US President Netanyahu, he said: “We have to invade the Gaza Strip, we have to go in. We cannot negotiate now.” And he announced that Israel’s response to Hamas “will change the Middle East.” Hamas responds: “No negotiations are possible with them.” We are working secretly on the fate of the prisoners.
There Strip is insulated. No electricity, no food, no gasoline. Everything blocked, everything closed. “We are fighting human animals and will behave accordingly,” thunders Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. After Israel was attacked, it united. Soon a new one will be born Government of national unityand: all together, majority and opposition, for the salvation of the country and against the enemy, the Hamas terrorists.
“Bodies of 1,500 Palestinian terrorists found”
“The bodies of about 1,500 Palestinian terrorists were found” on Israeli territory near the border with Gaza. The Jerusalem Post writes it on their X account.
Hamas: “We will not negotiate over hostages under enemy fire”
Hamas military wing spokesman Abu Obaida said in a statement that his terrorist organization “will not negotiate over Israeli hostages who are under enemy fire.” Failure and his wasted honor by bombing neighborhoods, houses, markets and streets from above. Our fighters captured a large number of soldiers. Israel should be prepared to pay a high price in exchange for the prisoners’ freedom.”
The threat: “We will kill the hostages publicly”
In a dark announcement sequence reminiscent of Russian roulette, Hamas terrorists play with threats, armed with the hostages they have captured. “We will begin publicly executing an Israeli civilian hostage without warning for every Israeli bombing of civilian homes in Gaza.”
US: “Iran is complicit, but there is no evidence of the attacks”
According to Washington, Iran is an accomplice of Hamas, but Tehran’s direct involvement in the attacks in Israel has not been proven. This was said by White House National Security spokesman John Kirby. “Iran has long supported Hamas and other terrorist networks throughout the region. In that regard, Iran is clearly complicit here, but as far as concrete evidence of these types of attacks goes, no, we have nothing.”
At least eleven Americans were killed
US President Jo Biden announces that at least 11 US citizens have been killed in Hamas attacks, many of whom had made Israel their “second home”. He continues: “It’s heartbreaking. These families have been destroyed by unjustified hatred and violence. We also know that American citizens are still missing and we are working with Israeli officials to obtain further information about their whereabouts. My thoughts are with all the families affected by the terrible events of the last few days. The pain these families have suffered, the extent of their loss and the anguish of those still waiting for information is unfathomable.”
The EU Council President: Don’t cut funding for the Palestinians
“In collaboration with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. “Nothing can justify the cruel terrorist attacks and crimes committed by Hamas against Israel and its people,” wrote EU Council President Charles Michel in a tweet. And again: “Israel has the right to defend itself and any military operation must be carried out in accordance with international law. We must not cut urgently needed humanitarian and development assistance to Palestinian civilians. This could be exploited by Hamas and increase tensions and hatred.”
