What Israel will do to its enemies will reverberate with them for generations:PM Benjamin Netanyahu

In the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that the offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip 'has only started.' The situation in the regi1on has taken a dire turn, with over 1,100 people killed on both sides since the outbreak of hostilities. The crisis began when Gaza-based Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a triple attack on Israel, prompting the Israeli government to formally declare war in a bid to reduce the militant group to what Netanyahu ominously referred to as 'rubble.'

The declaration of war has given Israel the green light to take 'significant military steps' against Hamas, leading to the mobilization of approximately 300,000 troops. Responding to the attacks, Israel initiated a massive airstrike operation, claiming to have eliminated 400 militants. However, the situation remains highly volatile, with reports suggesting that over 130 Israeli and other nationals are feared to be taken hostage by Hamas. Moreover, the conflict has led to more than 900 civilian casualties, marking one of the most devastating civilian massacres in the country's history.

 The words of Prime Minister Netanyahu resonate with an ominous tone. He asserted that what Israel will do to its enemies in the coming days "will reverberate with them for generations." The international community is now faced with the urgent task of seeking a diplomatic resolution to this crisis, as the region teeters on the brink of further devastation and loss of life.
