The Israeli military also reported on Monday that it had targeted a group of Hamas fighters "embedded" among civilians at Gaza's Al-Quds Hospital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday emphasised Israel's commitment to a protracted conflict with Hamas, declaring it a "war to the end," CNN reported.
Speaking to soldiers of Israel's Caracal Battalion during a visit, Netanyahu clarified that this was not merely an 'operation' or a 'round,' but a sustained effort to eliminate the threat posed by the Palestinian group. "This is neither an 'operation' nor a 'round' but a war to the end. It is important to me that you know this. This is not lip service, but from the heart and mind. If we do not finish them, it will come back," the Israeli PM said.
Netanyahu, when pressed on accountability for the October 7 attack on Israel, he such "difficult" questions until the conclusion of the ongoing war. In an interview with CNN, he acknowledged the need to address accountability but emphasised the immediate necessity of uniting the country to achieve victory over Hamas.
