Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at the bombing campaign Israel launched in the Gaza Strip overnight during a meeting yesterday with two senior Biden administration officials, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, the report says Netanyahu did not raise the timing of the strikes — which included the assassinations of three top Palestinian Islamic Jihad members — while speaking with US Middle East envoy Brett McGurk and energy czar Amos Hochstein, but spoke generally about a potential future operation in Gaza.
