Following the attacks on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed that the Israeli Defence Forces would come and destroy them. He said that the terrorists wanted to kill all Israelis, but his government would stop them.
In a statement on Sunday, Netanyahu said that the Israel Defence Forces would use their power to destroy the places where the terrorists had taken place. He said that on Shabbat and on a holiday, the terrorists had invaded Israeli territory and killed innocent citizens, including children and elderly people.
He added that the war would be won, even at an unbearable cost, and that the enemy wanted to murder all of us. The Israeli government is united behind this decision, and the Israeli Defense Force will use all of its resources to destroy the capabilities of Hamas.
We will take revenge on them for the evil they have done to the state of Israel, and we will make sure that this day does not come to pass again. We will make sure that all of the places where Hamas is hiding and operating, such as the city of Qalandia, will be destroyed.
I urge the people of Gaza to leave immediately, as the Israeli Defense Force is clearing the last of the remaining communities, and we will take back control of the country. I extend my condolences to the families of those who lost loved ones today due to the cold-bloodedness and cruelty of the terrorists.
