Netanyahu defends Gaza war record, says operation ‘great success’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is defending his actions during the Gaza War in the wake of the scathing comptroller report, saying it was a “great success.”
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports the officers and fighters of the IDF following their great success during Operation Protective Edge,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
Netanyahu notes that the army “hit Hamas harder than it had ever been hit before, killing more than 1,000 terrorists and destroying thousands of rockets.”
Netanyahu says proof of the success is the “unprecedented quiet” enjoyed since then by residents of the south.
