At ceremony honoring terror victims, Netanyahu says Gaza campaign ‘not over’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggests Israelis could soon see renewed fighting in the Gaza Strip following a major flareup between Israel and Palestinian terror groups in the coastal enclave over the weekend.
“The IDF acted with resoluteness against the terrorist elements in Gaza. I have said and am saying again — the campaign is not over,” Netanyahu says at a state ceremony for terror victims at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl military cemetery.
He says he was acting with “consideration” to ensure Israel’s security.
Netanyahu also notes the “moral chasm” between Israel and its enemies.
“We only want to build, they only want to destroy,” he says.
