There is no place in Gaza that Israel will not reach, not a single hiding place or a single refuge, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today, while the Israeli army operates in the largest hospital in the Palestinian enclave.
“We will arrive and we will eliminate Hamas and we will return the hostages,” which are two “holy missions,” Netanyahu said during a visit to a military base in Israel.
“There is no shelter for the killers of Hamas,” he added.
Today, the Israeli army raided the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza, where it is conducting tests, believing that a strategic base of Hamas is located there.
That operation caused anxiety among thousands of Palestinian displaced people who took refuge in the hospital grounds.
The UN said it was “appalled” by Israel’s move.
While Netanyahu points out that they are implementing what they set out to do.
“They asked us not to enter Gaza. And yet we entered. They told us we wouldn’t make it to the entrance to Gaza City, and we arrived. They told us we couldn’t enter Al Shifa Hospital, and here we are,” Netanyahu said.
The huge Al Shifa hospital complex has been at the center of fighting between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian Hamas fighters for the past few days.
It represents a major goal for Israel, which has vowed to “destroy” the Islamist movement Hamas after its bloody attack on Israeli soil on October 7.
In that enclave, which has been under a complete Israeli siege since October 9, the population has been deprived of water, electricity, food, and medicine supplies.
