Calling on the world to unite to join Israel’s push to defeat Hamas, Netanyahu issued a stark warning to the Hezbollah terror group and its Iranian backers, saying: “Don’t try us, you will be severely harmed.”
The premier also observed that Israel has started learning from the failures that led to Hamas’s deadly infiltration on October 7, saying that: “The reasons for the disaster that occurred will be investigated… and we have started drawing conclusions.”
Shortly after his comments, a massive rocket barrage from the Gaza Strip toward Jerusalem and other parts of the country forced MKs to leave the plenum to find shelter, causing a 40-minute delay in proceedings.
The premier, later echoed by President Isaac Herzog and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, reaffirmed that “our goal is victory over Hamas, toppling it from its rule,” nine days after the terror group stormed Israel and killed over 1,300 people, injured close to 4,000, and kidnapped about 200 hostages to the Gaza Strip.
