AhlulBayt News News Agency: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the launch of the “second stage” of the ongoing war, urging Israeli settlers to prepare for long-term hostilities.
In a public address, Netanyahu praised the impact of recent airstrikes on Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups, but warned that the “battle within the Gaza Strip will be difficult and long.”
Notably, Netanyahu framed the war as what he called “a continuation of Israel’s historic mission to liberate Palestine”, saying
“This is our second War of Independence. This is our mission, our purpose in life, and together we will prevail.”
On Saturday, the Israeli Occupation’s Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed that the country had “moved on to a new phase in the war,” and that ground forces would continue to operate in Gaza “until new orders are given.”
Despite several failed attempts, Netanyahu says that his goal of the aggression attacks on Gaza is “to destroy the military and political capabilities of Hamas and to bring our kidnapped settlers back.”
