  • Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “completely eliminate” Hamas on Saturday night as he revealed IDF forces have been fighting within the Gaza Strip to get rid of “evil” and “bring back” hostages.
  • He told Israeli citizens that the ongoing ground operation is the second phase of the war against Hamas, which he said would see Israeli “good” triumph over “evil.”
  • The press conference came just 24 hours after Israel confirmed it would be expanding ground operations into Gaza – although no major invasion appears to have yet begun.
  • “The war inside the Gaza Strip will be long and difficult,” Mr Netanyahu said, adding that having troops on the ground is “only the beginning. We’ve always said never again. Never again is now.”
