‘This is a painful day,’ Netanyahu says
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu begins a press conference, offering condolences to the mortar-shell victims.
“There is no more justified war than this,” he says.
“We knew there would be difficult days. This was a difficult and painful day,” he adds.
“We must finish the goal of the operation — to destroy the tunnels. This is a first, and crucial step in disarming Gaza, continues Netanyahu.
He says disarming terror groups and demilitarizing Gaza must be part of any solution, and urges the international community to push for this.
