srael- Gaza conflict: Key factors and analysis
The Post News- Briefing members of his cabinet. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Gaza conflict must not be stopped until it achieves all of its goals: the elimination of Hamas, the return of all hostages, and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.
Civilian Casualties Overlooked as Israel Focuses on Destroying Hamas
Netanyahu added by saying every other consideration must be set aside. This statement suggests that civilians’ lives and civilian casualties are not the primary focus in stopping the war; the war will stop when Israel has achieved its goals by destroying the movement. At the beginning of this month and late last December, many members were killed in clashes in Kan Yunes, where the leadership is understood to be hiding underground tunnels and bankers.
The grandson of the founder, She Yasin, is among those who were killed. It has also been reported that two journalists working for Al Jazeera were dead, too. Israel later produced a report stating that the journalists were traveling with a terror vehicle operating a drone and that their military aircraft identified and struck the target.
