Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a strong warning to Hamas, promising revenge if any harm comes to Israeli hostages in their captivity. In a news broadcast, Netanyahu urged civilians to evacuate Hamas hideouts in Gaza, cautioning that these locations would be reduced to rubble. He described the attack by Hamas as unprecedented in the country’s history and pledged to defeat the militant group and seek revenge for the tragic events. Israeli officials have reported over 200 casualties resulting from Hamas’ attack, which involved terrorists infiltrating the country using various means, including motorized paragliders. Hamas has taken both military and civilian hostages to Gaza, where they are believed to be held in tunnels. Israeli forces are currently engaged in battles with militants at 22 different locations. Netanyahu emphasized that the conflict would take time but assured that Israel would spare no effort in locating and neutralizing Hamas’ hiding places. He also urged the people of Gaza to evacuate these areas immediately.
