Israel Will Continue War Until Victory: Netanyahu

The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has declared that Israel will continue its war in the Gaza Strip and will not stop until victory is achieved, stating that Hamas militants can either surrender or die.

“We will continue the war until the end; it will continue until the destruction of Hamas, until victory. All Hamas terrorists—from the first to the last—are mortal. They only have two options: surrender or die,” Netanyahu’s office quoted him as saying.

“Those who believe that we will stop [in the Gaza Strip] are disconnected from reality. We will not cease our fight until we have achieved all our objectives—the destruction of Hamas, the release of hostages, and the elimination of the threat emanating from Gaza,” the Prime Minister added, noting that Israel is “striking at Hamas with fire, with the fire of hell”—“including today.”

“We are also targeting their (Hamas) agents near and far,” Netanyahu further stated without providing details.
