Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz issued a joint statement tonight (Tuesday) at the end of a security assessment they conducted at the Kirya in Tel Aviv.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “The IDF has attacked hundreds of terrorist targets. We eliminated dozens of terrorists, including senior commanders. We bombed headquarters, demolished buildings and towers. We continue to attack with all our might.”
“Hamas and Islamic Jihad have paid, and will pay a very heavy price for, their aggression – their blood is on their heads,” Netanyahu added.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that “the IDF has been working with the Shin Bet … for the last 24 hours to conduct hundreds of attacks in Gaza. There are a lot of targets in the pipeline – this is just the beginning.”
“I know the Gaza arena, the terrorist organizations have been hit hard and will continue to be damaged by their foolish decision to shoot into Israeli territory. We will restore peace and security and do so in the long run. I met the heads of the authorities in the [Gaza] envelope, who give their full backing to the move – and so do all the citizens of Israel. The IDF, I would like to remind you, guard and protect everyone – Jews and Arabs alike, and I call on all citizens of Israel – it is time to act responsibly and avoid mutual violence and violence in general.
“I, the Prime Minister and the entire political echelon support all the security forces and the IDF under the leadership of the Chief of Staff. They can do their job as needed, they do a great job and they can continue.
“I would like to say to the leaders of the countries of the world – there is no sovereign state that would receive fire on its citizens and population centers. We do not accept that either. We have the right and the duty to act – so we do. I would like to express my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones, to wish the wounded a recovery and to ask all Israeli citizens – keep the Homefront Command guidelines, they do save lives and we should not underestimate the situation we are in. We will all be united, strong and determined,” Gantz concluded.

Hey Joe Biden, just keep giving money to the Palestinians so they can wage war against innocent civilians. Joe Biden, a true criminal.
I am shocked he’s not CUT ALL AID To israel already.
This is only the beginning!! put on your seat belt things are going to get interesting! We will not even recognize this Country or the world 12 months from now! If, Camel Toe becomes President you will have to put a harness on never mind a seat belt; in the meantime the youth of America has their head down buried in their phones with their mask on and we are about to become blindsided by Russia, China, and Terrorist from the Middle East! This never would have happened on President Trumps “watch”!
This Socialist Democrat Party’s puppet Betrayal Biden is doing exactly what his traitorous handlers are telling him to do.
His traitorous handlers want to keep their puppet Biden in place because they are free from accountability and can be anonymous while letting the demented Betrayal Biden take the blame for their actions.
The Dishonorable, U.S. Socialist Democrat Party game plan is to lie, cheat and steal elections in order to take total control of the American people, increase Taxes on everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
There’s days i honesty wonder, DO THEY REALLY WANT A third world war??
Israel needs to go into Garza and remove all the Palestinians. And then set up a no man’s land
OR just carpet bomb the entire Gaza strip, into oblivion..
