Materials such as concrete supplied to Gaza have been diverted by Hamas to build its terror tunnels. This cannot continue, says the PM. Israel’s concerns to this effect have not been taken seriously.

It cannot be that Israeli citizens live under threat of rockets and the tunnel threat — “Death from above, death from below” — Netanyahu says.

Hamas is a cruel enemy, who is also cruel to its own citizens, and takes advantage of its own citizens, putting them in the line of fire, he adds.

Netanyahu reminds Israelis that he said this would be a lengthy operation. It will continue “until our mission is completed — to protect our citizens, our children, our people.”
