We will wipe Hamas off the face of the earth, says Israel PM
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to continue battling Hamas, declaring that every member of the Palestinian militant group was “a dead man.”
Following the surprise strike on Saturday, Netanyahu stated that Israel intends to “destroy” Hamas.
“Hamas is the Daesh (Islamic State group) and we will crush them and destroy them as the world has destroyed Daesh.
“We will wipe Hamas off the face of the earth,” he said in a brief televised statement, the first delivered jointly with his war cabinet.
