Netanyahu: Goals of Gaza operation achieved in full, our enemies got the message
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the goals of the operation in Gaza “were achieved in full.”
In a statement the prime minister says, “The aim of the operation was to carry out a targeted killing of an Islamic Jihad commander. He was taken out alongside dozens of terrorists and dozens of important Islamic Jihad infrastructure… Our enemies got the message: We can reach anyone.”
