Most of the militants who entered Israeli territory were destroyed. This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, summing up the results of the first stage of the operation against the Palestinian Hamas movement.
“The first stage ends at this time with the destruction of most of the enemy forces that have penetrated our territory,” the prime minister wrote on the social network. He also added that the government has decided to stop the supply of electricity, fuel and goods to the Gaza Strip.
Israel is launching an offensive on Gaza and will continue it “unconditionally and without rest until the goals are achieved,” Netanyahu said. The prime minister promised that the country’s authorities would restore the security of Israeli citizens and win.
Meanwhile, as The Jerusalem Post reports, citing data from the Ministry of Health, the death toll in Israel exceeded 300 people, and 1.5 thousand were injured. In the Gaza Strip, Israeli attacks killed, according to the latest data, 232 people, and about 1.7 thousand were injured.
Let us remind you that Hamas attacked Israel with rockets on the morning of October 7. The militants were able to take control of some settlements and took hostages. The group said it aims to create a Palestinian state. In response, the Israel Defense Forces launched the counter-terrorism Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip. Later, the President of partially recognized Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, declared the right of the Palestinian people to protection from Israel, he was quoted by Wafa.
